Family help: Well, I have some stress going on. - Help.com

Tell them everything, let them into your life and let them know you want them in your life, be excited, they are your family, yes your parents may have been morons and because of thier actions placed you in a place you may have or may not have liked but because these are your family let them know your love for them and allow them to love you its a two way thing. like i said let them in your life, tell them everything, from what went on to whats going on now and how much you’ve changed from then to now and both what you have learned and what you want to do with your life like your goals and dreams…

That does sound a bit stressful. My suggestion would be to focus on your future rather than looking to your past. The more we focus on our past the harder it gets to gain some positive perspective on the present. Get your past out of the way as much as you can - leave it behind you so that you can focus on the present and work toward a bright future. If you are just starting a new life and college then you really have a lot to look forward to.

If you want to clear your mind by talking with your family about things that happened maybe write them down in a journal first. Organize your thoughts and try to anticipate their reactions. I would say to go ahead and do this, release your anger and your hurt, but then to let it go as soon as possible and be sure to take care of yourself. Surround yourself with positives and people who care about you.

it depends in what relationship u and your family are.u have to b yourself,wil not help anyone if u are trying to impress.what is happening to u are happy things,u just are trying to adjust,cause all this is new for you.good luck with everything and pls tell me if everything will b al right

I have always found that by just telling the truth that all of the heavy weight that is on you will be lifted.

I suppose this ‘re’union of yours may have already happened… but, if not, I’d suggest seeing how the first few moments go, see how you feel with them and try to judge if you feel comfortable enough telling them things. Maybe only a few people will strike you as trustworthy at first. I guess I’m saying just follow what you feel, don’t say anything if you’re not comfortable doing so, but make sure it’s just that you’re uncomfortable with the people, not that you’re afraid to say anything… that makes no sense… It makes sense in my head! Well, anyways, I hope it goes well… and if it’s already happened, I hope it went well! Thank you for your sound advice on my post!
