Thank you, LindaLu! It hasn't been easy to accept things the way they are, and I've been sooo angry for a long time.. I went to therapy actively for three years and have since seen my T a few times as well as kept in contact via emails and text messages. This has changed my life, finally having someone I can trust to hear me out. Now I feel I'm finally able to start the grieving process.. The thing is, my parents aren't going to change, so I've got no choice but to accept it and move on.
