Progress!

(moved from the old diary-type thing)

Last night mom finally asked (although it was more of a statement than question) if J and I are seeing each other. I confirmed it – and to my huge relief, she didn't seem a bit upset. On the contrary, she claimed to have known about us for quite some time. "I've known least as long as you've been together – your mother isn't stupid, you know!", she said, when I mentioned we've been together since the summer.

She also said dad was clueless again and that she'd told him of us a couple of weeks ago. He dismissed the thought. Can you say "denial"?

We talked for quite a long time, and the end result was that J is still welcome to our home (whew!) and that mom has nothing against us being together – she just doesn't want to see any public displays of affection. So what else is new; she doesn't like to see them by anyone (gay or straight). But that's no problem with me.
