I'm happy for you.
I'm happy for you.
Congrats on the god day with your mom, I imagine that was an incredible feeling to be with you mother that day. It's such stressful moments, interacting with the folks before they 'accept' who you/we really are, it's a blessing each day the stress lifts a little more.
Best wishes!
Well that is a good turn Congrats
I can't imagine coming out, let alone having someone close be, even somewhat accepting. That was a huge day and a huge victory for you!
Thank you all for your nice replies. To her credit my mom has been trying since around Memorial Day.. We have had many talks and outings since then, I just found this latest one to be humorous. Most of her close friends already know about me without there being much fallout. She isn't really concerned about what others think. Thanks again!

Kel, be happy for the both of you. So many do not and suffer because of it. I am so happy for you. My mother and father passed away many years ago and so I have not had the wonderful experience you and your mother have.
Congrats Kelly on reaching that milestone with your Mom.She probably still has reservations but its great to know that she loves you and you'll alway be her baby.
My parents are both gone so I don't have that worry. My Mom was loving and caring, but if she knew about my CDing,she would probably be upset at first but afterwhile she would just accept it.
My Father was a kind of laid back person, so it wouldn't bother him at all.

Sounds like it was a great time.
Glad to see that she seems to be turning that corner!

[SIZE="3"] Kelly I am so happy for you. It is so hard for us sometimes to remember that having accepted ourselves it took [SIZE="4"]YEARS[/SIZE] for us to do that, and we expect everyone to do that overnight, give them time and help them, they will come around. [/SIZE]

It would be nice if she continued to say that to others. At least you've finally heard it and you know how lovely it sounds!

Kelly, I loved reading your story! It is great that your mom is coming around to the reality of your life. My mom wasn't happy to find out about me, just a few years ago. She called me "sick", "queer" and a few other things as well. She told my wife that if she really loved me, she would have insisted on getting 'help' for me.
She hurt me with her failure to acknowledge who I am. I'm her only child and she has never really accepted me as Olivia. Sadly, she's now in a long-term care hospital with steadily declining health, and I guess she won't ever have to deal with my "issues" again. I can't visit her enfemme now and I guess she feels "let off the hook" now. Enjoy your mom, and just be glad that she's coming around (as I'm sure you must be!). Thanks for sharing your up-lifting tale with us Kelly.

Lol, I bet you did have a big ol' grin! Great to hear that your mom is warming up to her daughter, I'm happy for ya!

Have fun and enjoy life.

That's wonderful, your mom hasn't lost a son, she's gained a daughter!
Glad to hear you had a good laugh about it
I am sure it will be a moment you will never forget
Congrats Kelly. I am lucky to have my parents support but they are still finding it a little difficult to adjust thinking of me as their daughter.
