[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1526109, member: 412001"] Hi [USER=302703]@Miko[/USER] - you're right. It sucks. And I've really got nothing to add to what everyone else has said except this: This makes me a little bit hopeful. You're still connected to your parents - you're aware and sympathetic to them. And, honestly, they probably yell when you cry because they're finding it super-hard, too. I know it sounds like cheap advice that adults hand out all the time, but sit down and have a chat with your parents sometime. It'll clear the air, it'll bring you all closer together. In your day-to-day life, your parents are your closest and first line of support. I'm not going to feed you some line about you growing up a stronger, better person for having overcome and learned to deal with something you really, really hate (though you will), but I will say - as a parent of a child with a different set of issues to overcome - the moments we sit and talk about how he feels about what he's got going on are balm to my aching heart. I have no doubts that your parents will feel the same. You've got this. You're smart and you're tough. Sock x [/QUOTE]
