Title: Aaaah!! My mom called me pretty!
Post by: MugwortPsychonaut on July 11, 2014, 03:19:53 PM
Let me bring you up to speed. I lost my house in the springtime. I was homeless for a while before breaking my wrist, which landed me back at my parents' house. My stepdad's a transphobic ass. But I'm really close with my mom. Always have been.

She's been slow to adjust to me being a girl. Today she and I went to the grocery store. I was wearing a dress with matching makeup. I came downstairs, and my mom told me I looked pretty! Aaah! And then she pointed out how I lit up when she said that.

I love my mom.  :)

So happy for you :D
My parents are fundamentalist christian ex-missionaries, I am not expecting a lot of acceptance, so it is nice to see someone getting some.

This made me smile so big :). So happy she saw how much it meant to you.  Hopefully seeing you so happy will speed up the rest of her acceptance!  How could it not?

The definition of love :
Accept you being yourself.

Those people who like force you to change isn't with love .
Although they like pretend it .

That's really cool. My parents and most family is rather religious and probably won't be ever calling me that for a long time if not at all. But glad you got called pretty :)
