I was adopted at two weeks old in 1963 and found my birth mother in 2000. Since then we've become very close (I left home at 17 and whilst have no issues with my adoptive parents we just having nothing in common) and I've spent the last weekend with her in Europe. Weeelll....I finally came clean and told her about the details of my relationship with my Master - she was soo cool and unfazed! She brought me an unexpected cuppa in bed this morning and made no comment about the collar around my neck - Adrianne, I love you.
