"Amma,
It might seem odd that I am writing to you about something so personal, so publicly. But then, again, this might not shock you because I have always been over-the-top. Excessively emotional, testosterone-charged, a child constantly raging against the world, and against you.
I remember the time I told you on the phone that I was a lesbian. I was crying. You were unmoving. A rock. Like you always knew. No questions. Just calming me down, asking me not to cry."
