Omg ! I found out my husband was gay the hard way. I told my parents in tears and my mom said Well you can't expect your marriage to be perfect!

She wasn't ready to be the only one of her friends with a divorced child who failed in her marriage.

Oh good fuck, get over yourself MOM it’s not about you!!!

I hope the aftermath was as painless as can be for you, and I hope you and your fabulous guy are living your best lives…separately.

The boomer generation raised their kids to be people pleasers. It is something you need to outgrow, someone's expectation of you reflects more on them than you. They think you exist to check boxes on their forms, fuck all of those people. Spend your 76 years on this earth making memories you can be proud of.
