Ok, folks. Technically, I’m not supposed to be doing this, but I would like to update you guys on the situation.

THE SITUATION:
My mother is thinking. She’s been thinking hard and thinking deep. She’s significantly more trusting than my dad right now, though she is still mad at me for lying to her, perhaps rightfully so.
My father is scared. He’s scared for my safety and for my privacy. He’s seen grooming firsthand and he’s terrified that it’ll happen to me.

THE PLAN:
Firstly, I need to wait. My mother is still upset. According to her, she needs time to get past her emotions and come to a logical conclusion. It may take days, it may take weeks, it may take months. But we will talk about it. She promised, and she almost never makes promises.
As I said, my father is mostly concerned for my safety.
Speaking of my father, @tastylemon16. He’d like to speak with you. I’m not joking. He wants your number. You don’t have to give me your number, obviously, though I would appreciate it.
However, if he’d be willing, I think it’d be better if my father speaks to @ralph, given that he’s the oldest and most trustworthy person on this site. I know it’s a lot to ask, but I need your help, Ralph. You’re the only adult here, and I’m not sure he’ll listen to anyone else.

So, that’s the situation. I may or may not see you guys again. If I am permanently banned, than I’ll be sure to give you guys a formal goodbye. But, for now, peace out.

See you later.
