Perhaps if your parents knew how much you were struggling, they would be able to be more sensitive. Hang in there, okay? You did a good job in the first step of letting your parents in a little bit, now if you can find that same courage to open up a little bit more, they might be a good support resource for you. Good Luck!
I agree with CSC completely!
