Yeah, my family is much the same.....at first when i got "obsessed" they thought it would pass......(Mum's on a Brokeback Mountain kick)
When i tried to explain just what the movie was all about....(yeah, Mum, sounds good)
Then when I hung posters and stuff all over the wall in the bedroom we use as an office.....(Well, lets just humour her, it will pass)
But gradually, and as time went on, they realized that it wasn't going away......
And the first phone calls I got on the day that Heath died, was from my two sons saying...."Are you Ok mum?"
And now, when I watch the DVD ....again....my hubby always sits with me, for the final scene, and says "Thats really sad, isnt it"........
......and I know, that NOW he really does know how I feel.

I had a moment like that with my mom.
Mom had seen the film with me, and knew of my Brokeback fixation. She couldn't understand the fact that I was so close to the people on the forums. She couldn't conceive that people could get close over the 'net.
One day, I got a package from Europe. A friend from the Netherlands sent me a copy of the DVD she made of the first BBM Backyard BBQ in Texas 2 years ago. I popped it in, and just at that moment Mom walked in. She sat down and watched the whole DVD with me.
It came time for the good byes, and she watched us all hugging and crying.....and I turned to mom, and she had tears running down her face. She looked at me and said:
"I wasn't even there, and I'm crying. I don't know how you all got through it. I get it now."

It is great Chucky, isn't it, when finally, those around us, know, that this is not just a one shot thing.
It is so much a part of who we are now, and will always be and maybe earlier in the journey it was nobody's business but ours but, there are now so many things we need to share with others about this, that its refreshing to be able to talk about it to them, and know that they do understand...
