And it definitely was not what I expected. I had always known my mother to be violently opposed to anything outside the norm. After all, I'd seen her mock gays and lesbians and referred to those who are transsexual or transgender as 'it'. I sent her the email simply because I wanted to get it off my chest finally and I felt that, even though I had left the house months previously, she was still my mother and had the right to know how I was doing. That's just what I believe. I sent off the email yesterday afternoon with such a feeling of dread about the reply. I expected all caps ranting and raving about how my mind was 'poisoned' and about how she never wanted to see me again. This morning, when I realized I had the reply in my inbox, I froze. It took me half an hour just to open it.. only to find that she said she'd love me no matter what choices I made in life and she didn't care what other people thought. I know I should be happy about this acceptance from someone I didn't even realize cared about me (very rocky past with my mother...) but right now... I'm just in shock. xD It'll come, I'm just.. amazed, I guess.
