My plan yesterday was to email my mother and my father when he got off. It didn&#8217;t exactly happen that way. My father still doesn&#8217;t know, but well, I&#8217;ll figure out when the best time is.<\/p>\n<p>After my mother read my email, she called me some things were said and we talked for over two and half hours. That may actually be the longest phone call I&#8217;ve ever been in. I don&#8217;t want to get into too many details, but suffice it to say the entire conversation left me very, very frustrated. After getting off the phone with me, she called a friend with a gay daughter who seems to have pushed her into a more positive direction and afterwards she called me back and apologized. I&#8217;m encouraged by this, but as with all things, time will reveal what will come next.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone have a deliciously devious evening,<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7317\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/about-me\/daw_signature_md-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?fit=450%2C99&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"450,99\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DAW_signature_md\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?fit=300%2C66&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?fit=450%2C99&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?resize=225%2C50&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"50\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?w=450&amp;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?resize=300%2C66&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danielawolfe.com\/tg\/wp-content\/uploads\/DAW_signature_md-1.png?resize=200%2C44&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nFeatured image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/foreignoffice\/32097587768\">Foreign, Commonwealth &#038;
