#18: That’s All That Matters
It warms my heart that this woman found the courage to speak up about her own needs when her son came out to her. It’s always hard to open up about your true self, regardless of age and status. It’s not an easy road, especially if you’re married with kids. It takes a lot of inner strength and courage to go for it and make it happen.
It’s even better that she showed up to her high school reunion and told her story. Maybe more people will see how normal it is to want to be who you truly are and stop thinking about the stigmas attached. I’m sure not everyone at that reunion was nice about it, but it sounds like most were.
