Do you visit either parent in prison? Do you plan on trying to have a real relationship with either when they get out?

I hear ya, all those feelings concerning your dad sound really natural and confusing. As hard as it must be, it sounds like you're processing them well. Glad to hear that you are close with your mom! I hope your living situation gets smoothed over soon!

You sound like a very strong and intelligent person- I have no doubt you will be the type of person who inspires everyone you meet!

That's horrible, people can be such assholes. Good luck with school, awesome aspiration!

Have you ever thought of trying hypnosis? I developed a severe fear of flying after two traumatic flights back to back, and was terrified to fly across the country for a wedding last summer. I bought a hypnosis cd to release the fear of flying and I was amazed at how good my experience was. Can't recommend it enough!
