Coming Out to Mum: A Dominatrix's Double Life
For years, I lived a double life. My conservative, Christian mother knew nothing of my profession as a Dominatrix until a revelation seven years in the making unfolded, with surprising results. In this candid, personal episode, I share about the fear, the tension, and ultimately the liberation that came with breaking my silence. I explore the delicate dance of withholding the truth, the strain it put on my relationship with my mother, and the unexpected acceptance that emerged.
