Is the fact that things seem to go smoothly-not all of the time of course but enough to make me always wonder when the bad is going to come. So, far, I have been trying my best to pray-mainly not to stress/worry/overthink. Learning that those emotions just make me feel a lot worse. It is still strange for a lot that has happened and scares me at times. I just want to focus on me-hope that is not selfish. I wonder if it is possible too at times that one can actually achieve their dreams when they have not told close ones of what had happened. Lately, I have been feeling that if I tell my mom I will hurt her. I actually cried a bit too when thinking about it. I do want to tell them, but I do not want anyone-especially my parents even though my dad was abusive too due to drinking-to feel guilty or like they had failed. I guess I want them to know that this is what happened and for some reason I do not know why and that I just want to live my life and they go live their own.
Still keeping the faith and I hope that I am just as strong like many of you here.

I am so sorry you are walking on pins and needles. Praying and having faith I would say are the best things to do for that.
But I have been feelin similar to you about telling people. I dont know why but I have to stop myself lately from telling my mom. I think I am getting sick of keeping the secret. That is a very tough thing to do, to keep a secret that is so heavy.
What ever decision you make there will be good and bad on both sides so dont let it get to you. Just think about like it's just a decision, it's just life. The world wont come to an end and tommorrow will always be a new day.
It sometimes helps me to think that way.
Whether you decide to tell her or not to tell her, you have my support and everyone's here.
Take care.
