What Would My Mother Say??

[philip1 (imported)]

my experience with parents has been bumpy.

I told them I was a eunuch with a letter and waited till they had read it to guage their response. Supprisingly my father took it better than my mother did (probably due to the fact he is kind of in the same boat as me). My mother freaked out and went on a tiraid about self mutilation but my dad just ast and thought about what he was going to ask. He asked basically what all had been removed and how I was going to deal with the side effects but after that he seemed fine with it. My mom continued to rant for a week afterwards. The things she said were not true about mood swings that get worse and worse and that i will crumble overnight from osteo. I waited till she had calmed down then I went to them both armed with enough information that they couldn't say I didn't have my facts in order. They took the information and what I said about why I decided that this had to happen. After about three hours of talking about why and how they ended agreeing with my reasoning.

I feel lucky that they were willing to listen.
