Well, I took a handful of pics with me and called my mom off to the side and showed 3....she asked "who is this?" she didnt know it was me.

She took it ok I guess, a little weird, wants to know where Im gettting my info.

She is a christian pastor and doesnt feel god makes mistakes....she knows Ive been strange all my life, but attributed it to other things, mainly a dislike for her and my father. She asked if I was sexually abused as a kid, even though her and I have discussed that in detail a few years back.

We brought my wife in and talked a bit more, I tried to quench the stereotypes of this and she does want me to come talk more about it. She said I have to do what I have to do, but she isnt comfortable seeing me dressed yet.

I can understand, I think she will become accepting soon...her and I in the past always talked and I think she wants that back.

She is also a christian mental health counselor...so talking about issues is her thing. She just has to get past the god doesnt mess up thing.

Rita Hon,

I agree with the whole "God doesn't make mistakes" thing.  Is very obvious to me that God has plans for us, that is why He made us this way,  We just don't understand the why.  We shall be shown, I guess.
