UGH. My mom just can't be supportive of the labels I use. I am so sick of this. If I can gripe to anybody in the chat, I'll basically grumble about standard aro-spec phobia from her. Again, UGH!
Hang in there! Even if you don't manage to reconcile the conflict, you have less than 3 years left until you're able to cut the ties with her, don't you?
