I have now confirmed with myself and friends that I am going to tell my parents about me this week, or next weekend. I've had long enough to get SI out of the way and rebuild my confidence, and once I've told them I will be able to get on with my life. I have a
pretty good idea of what I am going to say, but any suggestions, techniques and hugs are welcomed!!
Thanks in advance,
Hannah

First of all, good for you!
secondly, i wish you the best of luck.
As far as advice goes, i dont know that much about this stuff, because my mum found out on her own. But i would say that the best way to go about it is to explain the WHY's first because thats the hard bit. How you were feeling, etc.
Hope it goes well.
