hey Mel-
I have to agree iwth everyone. Don't blame yourself. But at the same time don't shove your issues aside. I made that mistake as a teen and am now paying for it in my post-highschool years. I too didn't want to burden my parents, but should have. They were infact angry with me when I did finally come to them with my problems. They were angry because I had not come to them sooner.
All you can do right now is be there.
Remind yourself that ACCIDENTS happen, you might need to gingerly remind your mom of this too. (but now might not be the best time...issue might be too raw yet).
Things tend to happen in 3's.....or all at once. Hope you can find some strength and comfort here and get thru these tough times.
