This is Incredible.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around what happened. I've been trying to pull this off for a year now, I didn't think it would ever happen.
On Thursday I sat down and had a talk with my conservative, over-protective, old fashioned mom. I stayed very calm and respectful. She didn't, however. Even though I asked her before I ever started talking to please, please let me say everything I had to say before she jumped in, she must've interrupted me at least 10 times. And she yelled. She flipped her shit and got majorly angry. I made several good points that she would not listen to, and I finally gave up. The talk was about me spending a night at my boyfriend's house, because we are 19 and 20 years old and we've been dating for over a year now. But anyway, on Saturday, before I got in the shower, she called me to the living room. She said she'd talked to dad about it, and he actually agreed with the point I made, that they have to let me make my own "mistakes" and they can't protect me from everything forever. I got very excited, and said "So I can spend a night?!" Then she said something I will never forget. I never thought my mother was capable of these words, she's always been so crazy protective. She said "I didn't say that. I'm not going to tell you that you can or can't spend a night with him, because that is your decision."
My mom refuses to accept that I'm an adult now. She continues to call me a child, and she says it doesn't matter what the law says, because I'm still a child regardless. She thinks I'm making a huge mistake and I'll live to regret it. Really? I slept in the same bed as my boyfriend. Wow. Not that big a deal, especially at our age and after how long we've been dating. But for us, it was a big deal because we never thought my mom would allow this. She told me when I was having the talk with her about it that "As long as you live under our roof you will live by our rules and our moral standards!" I can't believe I was finally able to stay the night, just us. We've been waiting so long for this, and it's finally happened.
On an unrelated note, I'm going to talk about the reason I'm on leave. On Thursday, I had 10 seizures. I injured myself, and while I'm recovering both mentally and physically, I don't think I'm in a good state to perform my staff duties. I'm very upset over what's happened, so I'll be on leave until I'm feeling better.
