    In case some of you dont know, she had been planning to kick me out in the fall. After a good long talk, shes letting me stay, and has apologised for the way shes been treating me.

    We also agreed to talk more often so that this doesnt happen again.

    What did we talk about? Everything. Turns out this outburst she had on me stemmed from by bad money management skills :/ We also talked about coming out, my tattoos and everything else in between.

    Shes okay with me coming home with tattoos, and she told me that shes having a hard time accepting that I'm 20 years old and I can make my own decisions, from drinking, staying out at night to tattoos and stuff.

    In terms of Coming out, she still doesnt get how I feel about certain family members not knowing. Every time I try to ask, "well what are you going to do when I have a steady girlfriend and I want to bring her to family functions?" she avoided the question but I'm not all that mad about it, I have time.

    So yeah, things are way, way better. It seems like the storm is finally over.

    yeh its good that you have sorted things out a bit, maybe she just needs a little more time on the whole family issue, but it sounds like she is trying to be more accepting!

    Reading your post is such a sigh of relief! That was very mature of your mom to apologize to you. (*hug*)
