When I first sparked an interest in this, I asked my mom if she had ever done it lol I tell her everything. I didn't sugar coat anything. I just came right out and said it. I figure regardless of what I do, she loves me unconditionally. Since bringing it up to her, this has been an open topic. For the most part, I'm pretty open about my lifestyle choice. And I love it being that way! By talking openly about it, I found out my sister is a Domme... it was awesome to have someone that close to me understand exactly where I was coming from
