i'm their mom..... There was a BDSM chatroom that I used to go to all the time and I fully understand what you are saying, there were quite a few there that had difficulty dealing with the fact that many times that I was in there my son was there as well. I've never been secretive about who I am or how I feel and have found that because of that my kids will come to me and talk to me about anything. As their mom, what ever they are seeking to find, I will do my best, offer my advice and guidance whenever they need it, and will, hopefully, show them the safest path to their own personal fulfillment. My openness and honesty over the years has paid off in so many amazing ways. As I have said before, I can't imagine how it feels to have to keep your life choices a secret. For me personally, and it is my own feelings and my own opinion, to hide something is the same as saying "I'm ashamed of it and there is something wrong with it". My kids were raised knowing that their mom was kinda kinky, (No, I never "acted" out in front of them, but it's hard to hide chains on a waterbed) and because of that there was no "bombshell" to drop on them as adults, just a long slow path to understanding. They are all grown now and not to long ago my daughter stopped by and told us that her girlfriend had displayed some "submissive" tendencies and before she left she had asked to "borrow" (anyone with kids knows that's code for "mine to keep") a flogger and some suspension cuffs. Not only did we give her the flogger and cuffs, but showed her how to use them (a service they don't offer online). My son had shown an interest in a violet wand... again, both him and his wife were shown how to use one safely... that's an expensive toy they will have to buy for themselves. Not in the slightest bit embarrassing to me, no different then teaching them the proper way to ride a bike or drive a car. And no, I'm not saying this is right for everyone, to each there own. Jewel
