Hi Treyn,
Thanks for asking :)
I finally managed to find a way and discuss that matter amicably with my mum. She's seemingly receptive of my perception but still had some reservations about me having "too long hair". The reason being that she was brought up in an overly conservative environment (I mean, of course, during that time) and everything is (and must be) stereotyped. Additionally, she's very self-conscious and was also worried that I'll be scorned (and be made difficult) by others due to my long hair, which would cause multiple obstacles in my life.
I truly understand her apprehension and really feel touched by her explanations. I regretted my blow-out with her and I promised myself and her that I will, at any cost, control my emotions when such arguments crops up again. At the same time, I made myself clear to her that I will still be growing my hair to longer lengths and I will prove to her and to others that, being wayyyy out of the steroetypical male, I have serious qualities in me that's worth more.
In the mean time, I'm out of town with my family (including my mum) and I think, we still got some serious tie-mending works to do.
Thanks for your kind concern and great advice, it really helped me tremendously.
With utmost appreciation,
Jin

Now there is a good direction to be headed in, bro. Glad to hear your being firm but loving through it all. Your mom sounds like a sweet and understanding person for the most part. God love our Mothers!! KEEP IT LONG, RIGHT OR WRONG!!!!!
