Okay, nothing universe-collapsing, but my mom told me today that my hair "becomes me because I'm such a...good guy." Sounds odd, but it makes sense contextually. I don't think she wanted to say it more fully, lol. Complimenting my hair must've been debilitating enough as is.
I'm just glad, though, after so many months of wrinkled noses, shouting and glares and frowns. She likes how my hair looks in a ponytail, but not until last night did she seem to come around to it loose, saying that it looked okay like that and that I resembled Jesus. Poor Jesus. :P
Random religious remarks aside, I'm glad that she's coming to grips with my hair. It's still really annoying me, especially during the dreadlocks incident where my hair was forming into little dreads, and it never seems like it's growing, even when pulled straight. I think I'm just too anxious for it to hit shoulder-length when curly, as far away as that seems.
Oh well, thanks for reading this, and all your help and support so far. My mom certainly wouldn't have deified or complimented me without you guys.:P
Peace, and keep those awesome manes growing!
Hey man any kind of support(especially from family) is awesome!
It's wonderful that someone in your immediate family came to understand you and your love for hair.
Good luck growing to your goals man you are doing wonderful and have great confidence in your hair.

Sounds like your mom's coming around and getting used to your hair. Very nice to hear!
Keep it growing!

Lucky you! My parents are still on my case every single day to get it cut! I fend them off but it still kinda gets me down with them constantly badgering me about it. And my hair isnt that long yet! Its only 6 to 6.5 inchese!
Compliments from people we know are even better than those from complete strangers.
Congratulations!
That's really cool, man. I know how helpful even limited acceptance or support from family can be and how it can be a real stress if it's lacking.
If she's saying this now, I bet things will get easier for you regarding the whole dynamic with your mother.
