my mum will be so dissapointed

its a toughie, just explain to her why you didn't tell obviosusly i don't know the situation by the sentance"i didn't tell you as i knew you'd be worried and it was a moment of weakens that i'd rather put behind me move on. " explain also that the fact your therpist forces the disclosure streesed you out . acctualy i'd say that first so "mum we need to talk , . i wasn't goign to tell you this asi knew you worry but i told my therpist and she insits you need to know" explain the od incident then " i chose not to tell you..."

i hope this helps if you need to talk father about it you can good luck

I find it really difficult to talk to my 'rents bout these type of things so when I have to I write them a letter and leave it for them when I go out.
That way I don't have to see their initial reaction and when I come back they would have thought about things more and so things won't be so spur of the moment.

Is that an option for you?

Take care,

hi
well ermm i aint much use in these situations but some kind of advice is better than non at all i suppose...!
so any way yhh try the " mum we need to talk " and then go from there and explain what was goin on at the time and how the pressure was becoming to much and appoligise for lyin to her all this time but u didnt want to dissapoint her and well u just felt like u had to move forward and forget but u od and ur sorri for the decet ...! and well my theropist though it would be alot easier and a load of ya mind if ya just told her ..!

sorri if it no help hun n well good luck ...! "hugs"

Personally I wouldn't be able to tell my parents anything as my mum's part of my problems but it may be easier to write a letter and leave it somewhere for them to read, that way you don't have to face the awkwardness of starting a conversation with them about it and then getting to a certain point and start stumbling over what you are going to say.

Its a really hard thing to do. I hope everything works out well.

Just tell her the truth, it'll be hard but it's for the best, yeh? Tell her you didn't mention is because you thought she'd be disappointed. It'll be better if she knows, I suppose, right? Like Animad said, maybe write it in a letter?
Take care, Laura.
