Hi Mom

Hi Mom,
Yeah, it's me. Listen, um, you know how when I was a teen-ager, and I really wanted something, and you were all "no" and then I would just hound you with my brand of logic and reason and eventually convince you that what I wanted to do was okay, and I'd get you to change your mind? Remember that?
Well, you're going to be here in a week and a half, and I want to tell you what's going on with me. You see, um, well, there are now three of us. Yeah. Me and Missy and now Chloe. Yeah. Missy and Chloe adore each other. We are all in love. Yes. We consider ourselves all in one relationship now. A bit longer than three months. Well, we don't want to be in anyone's face about it, but we don't want to be hiding it, either. No, none of us was looking for something like this. But when the time came, we all found we were open to the idea, and now, three months on, it feels good. It feels like it has legs. It feels like it has potential to last quite a while. We all love each other, and we all like who we are in this relationship.
You'll see us together. You'll see our dynamic. You'll see how we are. You can check us out, and decide if I've overdosed on stupid pills or not. You know me. I know you want me to be happy. And I am happy, really very happy right now. You will see that. I know this will be challenging in many ways, forseen and unforseen. And yeah, it makes certain decisions and situations more...complicated. But we are all strong, we want to be together, and we are willing to fight for our future together.
And I want you to know who I am and what I have done...no secrets, no lies, no hiding.
I love you,
Red

  1. So striking ... I keep going back and forth about whether I want this to happen, but your eloquence tips me toward yes.

  2. So ... Red made the call, and the parents did not run screaming. I think all three of us felt somehow more sparkly and warm afterward. Maybe coming out isn't so hard after all?!

  3. Well, I'm still a little worried I'll be getting sideways glances or (worse) being eyed suspiciously... But I have the easy job here - just need to be myself. Red tackled the tough phone conversation, Missy will have to demonstrate to the in-laws that she doesn't feel threatened or coerced, and all I have to do is eat, drink, and be merry!
