    it seemsto me like she's at least TRYING to make this work, ya know. Uuuuh, what she says about it being fine for 2 guys but not 2 girls is very bizarre... never heard that before... Is she reading the book? I think that was a good way to go to help ease her into this. I watched a gay romance with my mom when we were in a similar strained situation. She told me she supported but said she wasn't ready to see me with a guy

    TIme might be your friend in this case, but I DON'T think you'll lose your mom. Like I said, she seems to be TRYING at least ya know?
