Unhappy Vent- - bad day!

Okay, excuse me y'all, but I really need to vent! I've had a bad day...

So, today, I walked into the den to talk to my parents, and on the desk sitting next to the computer by my dad was a box that had my name on it. So, I was like "what's that? It has my name on it!" So, my parents handed it to me...they made me a "care package" [long story as to why I got it, won't get into that]. So I open up the box, and inside is chocolate, m&m's, a letter, pictures, and a note card that said my parents would buy me a computer game...So, I read the letter... "...we wanted you to know how much we love you and care about you, so here is your own 'care package'.....You are growing into such a wonderful and beautiful young lady...it's fun to have you home now because we'll miss you a whole lot someday. Love, Mom and Dad" I feel horrible now!! Their "wonderful and beautiful young lady" is suffering from an ED and I didn't have the courage to tell them, that was probably the best time to tell them and i didn't!! And, I just feel so bad hiding this from them, but I know I'm not ready to tell them...

And, I'm so scared! [this is a bit off topic, but it's got me down, so I'm going to share] I have to go to my back doctor tomorrow! He's going to give me x-rays and see if my scoliosis has increased! Right now, the curve in my spine is 45 degrees and if it reaches 60 degrees then I need surgery...the doctor said that the way it will grow is if I grow, and I haven't grown, but I'm still scared that it might have...I've already been through a surgery...that was on my knee, and it was a simple surgery, this would be a bigger, more complex surgery and I'm not sure if I could deal with that...

Anyway, I'm done complaining now!! Thanks for listening!

Katie, thanks for posting and sharing how you're feeling. It sounds like you've got wonderful parents - who will be supportive when you find the courage to tell them about your ED. I encourage you to tell them soon. Maybe you could write them a letter? Good luck with your doctor's appt. and x-rays. It does sound scary, but I know you'll make it through whatever is necessary. Especially with loving parents by your side. Let us know how it goes. Mel

Good news! I won't need surgery on my back!! The scoliosis hasn't grown, or changed!! It's the same, and my bones are "mature" enough that they probably won't be growing anymore, so the curve won't grow! I'm very excited about that..

But,about my parents...they may be loving [sometimes] but they are so hard to talk to, about anything...they make assumptions and then run with them...or they make comments on things, that I think are wrong, but I don't have the courage to stand up to them, I never have the courage to stand up to them...or tell them anything...

eh..anyway, I'm done complaining about them...for today at least!

Thanks!! It is SUCH a relief for me!! I was like dancing after the doctor told me that! My parents were laughing cuz I had such a HUGE sigh of relief after he was like "you appear to be fine! You're looking great!" It was so awesome!!
