I didn't talk to my mom, although I probably should have...she wouldn't have understood anyway. I made myself sick (so my parents could see) and stayed home. I actually didn't really have to try that hard, since I was already feeling nauseous from the thought of seeing him. He was in town from college so my family wanted to 'pay a visit.' Funny, considering his history with their daughter. I probably shouldn't have faked anything or lied, but I did what I had to do and I was really panicked. Thank you for all the support- sometimes PC is all I have in my times of deepest need.
