I was going to say I hope you get along with your mom. You've got a great attitude, but that would be tough. I can only tolerate my mom in small doses. Hurts her feelings that I am just not interested in doing stuff with her very often, but she made the mistake of leaning on me for emotional support when I was growing up if she wasn't getting it from my dad or friends. And she still tries to do that.

I sounds somewhat open minded. I also think she's an extremely good-hearted person. But she's fighting a cultural learning curve being Hispanic and dealing with the deprogramming of her religion. I believe she has negative concepts about gays and lesbians. I'll have to flesh that out a bit more.
catdad:
I rarely overextend myself. I also hide my feelings quite well. The conservatives at work thought I was one of them because I never launched into a counter-argument when they'd say stupid shit. I just don't see how my non-work moral or political beliefs have anything to do with work, so I generally don't say anything. And I don't really love to feed people. The rest of it is pretty accurate, though.

I really think I is kind of in an exploratory phase in her life. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

Don't beat yourself up about it. You're only human and it must be a difficult situation to deal with.
