sharing my good news

[logan&tylersmama]

Hi everyone -
I am usually on the creative/scrapbooking boards But i thought I would share my good news here.
Over dinner last night - my mother came out to us and let us know she got married to her "friend" while in canada two weeks ago. I was excited for her. I always say "you cant help who you fall in love with"
My brother is gay and came out 15 years ago to the family.(my mother at the time said to him - "it looks like you have something to tell me - hay as long as your not a republican i can handel any news" So of course he was excited - and hes not republican. But i think my older sister is having a difficult time with the news.
Thanks for letting me share, I think as long as my mother is happy then i am happy for her and as long as she is not a republican we can all live happily ever after.
Jennifer

Congratulations to your whole family.

I couldn't help but feel sadness though that it took your mother 15 years more than your brother to share such an important part of who she is. I'm glad that you received her news happily and I'm glad that you are celebrating for her.

Come hang out with us whenever you feel like it.

Congratulations to Mom! I'm sure your Sister will come around, probably a lot to take in!.

Wow! You are one great "kid!" Congratulations to your Mother. It's unbelievably difficult to do what she did and she is so very fortunate to have you for a child!

Hope all goes well with your Sister's acceptance and understanding.

Don't be a stranger here, now!

I think it's great that your Mom had the courage to tell you AND how great you're welcoming her new life! Good for both of you!

Congrats on being family!!

When my hunny came out to her mom, she made a statement that rang true to me. While coming out, one has to be ready to loose people from one's life forever. There are some people who will never accept our lifestyle.

Your mom is very brave to tell you, facing the loss of family is terifying. My hunny was so worried she was sick for weeks over how to tell her mom. Like you - her mom was accepting and open with the whole thing...all the angst for naught, but it was frightening and upsetting. Your mom most likely was worried that you and your sibs might not be as accepting of her as you all were for your brother. I am glad to hear that you all are, and that she is happy and out!

And she didn't invite you to the wedding?! I'd be having a talk w/ mom.

Seriously though... I'm glad you are sharing this as "good news" and congrats on the new ... 2nd mom... mom2 ....

What do you call your mom's wife? hhmmm.

Well, I never called my step-father or step-mother anything dad or mom related--first names all the way!

So, I don't see why a mom's wife (i.e. a step-mother) would be an issue.

JMHO
