Hello! thank you for your reply. I know my dad loves me and just wants whats best but sometimes its hard to look at our predicament objectivly. As for my mom, she tends to take a backseat when it comes to parenting, and unfortuanatley it makes it very difficult for me to talk to her about personal issues (even more than my dad). Luckly I'll be going to the doctor today for a check-up, I'm a bit nervous about how he will react when he sees my scars but I'm hoping for the best.
