Lisa,

I don't know many people who really understand the gist of DB. The people around us want us to stop hurting and whatever advise the can give to that end esp "moving on" is what they tend to do. I was lucky that my brother "got it" and was someone I could talk to. Mostly, it's best to not discuss it with friends and family. If you don't discuss it then you won't feel the need to justify yourslef.

Ultimately the choices for your life are up to you. If you need to sit your parents down and have a convo then do it. They want what's best for you and they are probably torn up that their baby girl is hurting so badly (I know I would be). Be an adult and let them know what your plans are. They will fell better seeing your strength.
