i lucked out i guess.. while my mom doesnt understand why i like snakes and it doesnt make sense to her, she accepts it. my dad on the other hand has more than i do. lol but i've had friends and dated superficial people and maaan can they be frustrating. since most of them werent blood related they're all but memories now. but i wish you the best of luck. i dont have much more to add than what everyone else has said, but i would definitely wait until tempers have cooled off and then try and reason with her. angry people usually dont reason their best.
