Umm...I'm not really sure what to say. I'm MayonakaNeko. I'm currently what my mother would call going through a phase and what my father would say is my decision. I don't really know how I should identify myself to others but I hope to figure it out, because I've already had a problems with one of my friends and accidentally sending her mixed signals. I'm very happy to be here though! *bows* I've been to this site before and have found it very helpful and like I said, I am happy to now be a member.
Hi and welcome to EC! Often times it takes a while for parents to come around and to accept it themselves. Hopefully with time, your mum will come to accept it and perhaps also understand it better. Sorry to hear that you had problems with your friend. I hope you will stick around and I am glad that you are finding EC helpful. Welcome aboard!
Welcome to EC! I'm a mother to a gay son myself so if I can help you with your parents, feel free to PM me.
