My first thought after reading your post, Hime, was, "OMG, NO HE DID NOT!!!" That was the child of my parents talking there.

Then I went into parent mode and thought, "Yeah, I can see why he felt the need to do it."

You are trying to be your own person, living your own life. That's tough for a parent to accept even when it's what we spend our life as parents doing- teaching our children to grow up and live the great life for themselves.

Parents...sheesh!

I'm with moptop and Ocean Soul...I think he knows just exactly what that collar means and he's having a bit of difficulty accepting it, whether he agrees with the lifestyle or not. It's the whole, "I don't want to know what is going on behind that bedroom door!" That stands true for parents as well as the child.

I hope this smooths out for you. Family "issues" are never any fun.
