miss_ytYou know, this probably makes me sound like a horrible person, but recent developments arising from my issues with Mom have given me an idea of how to handle a particular scene in the fanfic I'm working on - one I've rewritten twice that basically has put the rest of the story on hold.
As well as seeing my relationship with Mom in a new light, I've begun to see this story in a new light as well. It's not just about how much strain it puts the relationship when a guy doesn't tell his girlfriend about his superhero secret identity,1 or even about the toll that secrets take on a relationship. It's about the well-intentioned but utterly stupid things we do to protect the people we love.
1This is a Batman Beyond fanfic by the way.
