[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1929634, member: 451727"] Hi Dazzeur, families can be very hurtful even when they don't mean it and their opinion hurts you more simply because they are family. You of course, have the advantage that you all live in different Countries! Seriously though, you should NOT even think of slinking off to the toilet to do your injections. You are keeping yourself alive and it is nothing to be ashamed of as you know. I would refuse to keep it hidden and indeed would do it out in the open (perhaps announce it beforehand so your sister can look away if she has to). This is now part of you and they have to accept that. As for the 8 to 17 year olds, I am 100% certain they would have been fascinated and very interested in what you were doing and would have asked you a million questions, probably asking you to test them! My advice would be to explain to your Mum that this is now who you are, you refuse to act as if you were injecting heroin and basically, Mum or no, she can like it or lump it. Now having said that, I don't advocate jumping onto the table to do it but yes, inject in front of them if you need to. They will get used to it and before long they won't even notice. Any trouble from your Mum and you can tell her 'Well you probably gave it to me'. :) [/QUOTE]
