So, I'm still processing this a bit so excuse me if it's a bit jumbled, but I think posting an update might help coordinate my thoughts a bit, and since you would probably be interested.
My mother walked in on me while I was getting changed and saw me wearing the belt. She knows what they are, apparently, and asked me if I knew what it was, why I had it, where I got it, why I want it, and a bunch of other questions like that, and we spoke for about 3 hours. She ended up asking for the keys at the end, and we agreed on some rules going forwards
