Dear Super Religious Catholic Mom,

THANK YOU for understanding why I want to go on birth control, and for being supportive and not judging me or jumping to conclusions about my sex life. You have been so amazing these past few years and I'm so sorry I hated you growing up. You make me want to have a daughter of my own when I am older so that I can be half as amazing a mother to her as you have been to me. Also, thank you Bloody Mary I had at noon for finally giving me the courage to bring up the dreaded topic with my mother. I'm really looking forward to not wanting to hide in my room every time I start my period.

Love,
Your forever grateful daughter
