This weekend I will be going to see my parents which means they will be having a long, very stressful conversation with me.
Recently I told them a lot of things they really didn't like, including that I wanted to move in with my boyfriend, that I now consider myself Atheist, etc.
They also demanded to see my transcript so now they know that my grades this year were a shadow of what they were my freshman year.
They will want to blame this on my boyfriend, but the real reason is I've been very very depressed. At one point winter term I didn't go to any of my classes for two whole weeks, resulting in an F in biology and a D+ in animal foods technology and me being put on academic warning. I just stopped caring. I just wanted to live through the term and believe me it wasn't easy.
I'm not entirely sure of my mom's views on the matter but my dad is very anti psychology. For a long time he didn't even believe that my sister was Autistic, and he wasn't too happy about my boyfriend is a psych major (thinks he's going to manipulate me or something ::) )
I am not sure how to explain to them. On one hand I don't want to scare them as I doubt I'm going to kill myself any time soon but on the other hand I don't want them to think I'm being dramatic or silly or coming up with a lame copout.
Oh yeah, and I'm not prevet anymore. I want to train horses, not treat them. Haven't gotten around to telling them that either.
Help?
