Wow, you are amazing and strong. I can only imagine that you opened up to your mom with trepidation and when she validated you and let you know she has your back, it must have been such a relief. Your kids are lucky to have such s great role model for a mom. Good luck to you!

I haven't read any replies yet, I just want to say this is NOT a baby step. This. Is. A. Giant. Step. You know it now. You weren't sure before. Once you know it you can't unknow it. Best of luck to you.
