OP - "Hey Mom, Dad, I want to tell you something really important. I'm g... g... g... going to learn to use a white cane"

Mom, Dad - "Oh that's no problem u/theawesomeaquarist, but for a moment then we thought you were going to tell us you were going into the theatre."

In your previous post you said your mum was there when the O&M suggested training and your mum said it was up to you.

Just tell her you want to start training, doesn't sound like she is against it or anything.

Hey, mom. My o and m trainer suggested that I get a cane for night time use.

You can mention cane training also provides safety. Tripping and breaking an ankle in low-light conditions isn't fun. Most of my clients with night blindness issues often end up getting referred to me because they have been falling at night or walking into poles.

Guide cane training helped my son so much. You have to do whatever makes you feel safe and more secure.

Mom, can you email the O&M instructor, I want to go ahead with that cane training.
