Talked to Dad

It's been a busy weekend but on Saturday I was able to talk to my dad! He came over to my place to meet my kitten and see what I've done since he'd been there last. We finally talked about me coming out which hadn't happened yet. He had only heard what my mom had to say about it. We had a heart to heart and I told him exactly how I felt and what I've been going through. He doesn't agree with my "decision" but I'm his daughter and he loves me is what he said. I just cried. I told him how I finally felt comfortable with myself and that Michael has been my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I haven't hurt myself since being with him and have realized that I do have a purpose in life. I think I made my Dad realize that this is not a "phase" as my mom says and that I'm finally finding happiness. He said he would talk to mom and that she probably wouldn't change her thoughts but he would try. We hugged close to 10 minutes and he just held me as I cried.
