Timeline: Episodes 213 and 214
213
I had questions but it wasn’t Ben I needed to ask them of, it was Ma.
“Do you think I should say something?”
I waited silently, as Ben weighed up his answer.
“How important is it for you to know the truth?”
“I’m not sure…I don’t want to hurt Ma but I feel I have the right to know”
“And will knowing change anything about who you are?”
“No….”
Ben’s question made me realize I was part of two people, but Ma was the one who raised me and loved me. She deserved my respect.
My decision had been made.

I washed away the grime from my hours in the cells before snuggling up to Ben.
“So now you’re a jailbird”
“Not funny….this is all Ma’s fault!”
“How do you figure that?”
“She can date who she wants but she won’t accept you!”
“I understand how she feels.”
“That’s not the point!”
“Maybe not….but look at it from her point of view, you’re her son and you’re dating someone who is HIV positive”
“That doesn’t give her the right to treat you like she does.”
“Maybe not…but it does give her the right to worry.”
As usual Ben was right.
