I've copied your stuff down, I'll be in touch

I've found that so far, the hardest thing has been admitting to myself that things aren't great for me. Luckily I've had a lot of time so far this winter to do some serious soul searching.

For the past couple weeks, I've been trying to get the courage up to come clean with my parents about everything. I'm so scared about breaking my mom's heart once she hears everything and I don't want my dad to feel like I can't level with him.

It's going to be a hard go when I tell them...
OK, I cleaned off my contact info ..... thanks for your concern.

Now, a word about the phase you are referring to up above (bolded).

My "big book" calls that steps eight and nine and they go like this:

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

The underlining is my doing. In my opinion, you don't have to spill your guts to your parents if it is going to hurt them. However, you should be "willing to".

Stick with it!
