Try to be confident in your decision. I know you want your mother's approval, but your own approval is more important. That confidence will tell her, who can likely read you better than anyone else on the planet, more than anything you can say or write.

You may want to send her a copy of this too: https://www.amazon.com/When-Someone-Love-Polyamorous-Understanding/dp/0996460187

If you're really interested in polyamory then I'd also suggest reading about it.
