So I’ve been trying to come out to my mom for 2 weeks now and the problem isn’t that she’s not accepting or anything, I’ve already explained to her the concept a long time ago before i realized i fell under the nonbinary umbrella and she was confused, but accepting. I mean, it was new to her but she didn’t seem to even remotely doubt me. She’s a great mom, really open minded, she accepted my being aroace in a second. But enough of that. It’s not the problem.
The problem is I LITERALLY CANNOT GET HER ATTENTION FOR LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES WITHOUT A CRISIS HAPPENING. She’s a behaviorist, she works with a bunch of people, and without fail, if it isn’t one of her clients being wronged or having a crisis as soon as i get her alone, it’s a dog that has a tumor, or she has to work late, or my stepmother (they’re lesbians, harold) has a crisis of her own.
Like, they’re all legitimate reasons and i can’t really put this over the physical well being of one of her clients, but i just need like 20 minutes to start this off! Like, please? I feel like I’m living in a sitcom!
