[QUOTE="Zhnyaka, post: 2514838, member: 554712"] It was a long time ago. I'm already an adult, and it doesn't matter how my parents treat my diabetes, I have a good relationship with them, even if they don't accept what happened completely. At the age of eight, I almost died because someone told my mom that diabetes can disappear if you pray, and that insulin is very dangerous for children. But I had a wonderful endocrinologist who explained long and hard what would happen without insulin. I have no serious psychological trauma from what happened, the only thing is that I now have an extremely negative attitude to religion and consider Frederick Bunting my god. My parents and I have different religious and political views, but this does not affect my love for them. I've grown up and I can take care of myself. Haha, though, when my mom saw that Frederick Bunting's picture was hanging on the refrigerator in my apartment, she asked me to take it down with the words "people will see it," even though all my friends know about my diabetes, but I doubt that any of them know what Frederick Bunting looks like [/QUOTE]
