My mom wanted to watch the episode since she loves Dave and Kurt’s story. I forewarned her that it would be heart wrenching and she would need tissues, but never thought she would be as affected as she was. After it was over, she came over and hugged me for a good two minutes and told me profusely that she loved me and if I were to ever feel that helpless, that I needed to come to her and she would always be there for me. I cannot think about that moment without tearing up because I know she could’ve reacted any other way when I came out to her, but she chose to accept me for me and not think twice about it. I wish that everyone could have it easy like I was lucky enough to.
So, for anyone that ever feels down enough to hurt themselves, just know that I’m here for you. If you need to talk or vent to someone, I’m always free.
