As some of you know from a post I made a few days ago, about how great things went with my wife and Carly on New Years eve/day, I decided to see if my luck continued and came out to my mother. My mother watches my wife and I's two youngest children at our home and I get home an hour earlier then my wife. So I figured that would be the perfect time. So on Friday I got home and did the normal and sat at the kitchen table and we talked about day to day stuff. I finally got the nerve and said "Mom I need to tell you something" then I cried (I'm a crier :) ). She hugged me and calmed me down and then I told her about Carly. She was so supportive, and wished I would have told her sooner, especially when she found out I had been dealing with it since I was a small child. I was so relieved. My wife walked in and could sense something was up and I told her that I told mom. She was so happy, we all was. I now have three very supportive women in my life, My wife, my mother and my mother in law. My wife can talk about anything with her mom and her mom is the sweetest most non judgmentally person I ever met.
I shared this story and the one a few days ago not just to share my own excitement but to also help others. I always thought my mom wouldn't accept Carly because she is very religious and can be very conservative on issues. A month ago if you told me that Carly would be in the same room as my wife, at my wife's request I would have laughed at you. But I was wrong about them both. I guess my advice is too have faith, continue with communication and go at the pace of the other person. Many years ago I got too pushy with my wife when she was coming to terms with Carly and it caused problems and set us back. But I learned my from my mistake and a few years ago when we brought the subject back up I went at her pace. My mother, I guess a mom will love her child no matter what :) . In closing, I found there was light at the end of the tunnel and although the trip wasn't always easy or looked very promising, it was worth it in the end. I have never been so happy with myself and my life then I am now. So don't give up hope ladies :)
