Ok soo I'm gonna make this as short as I can. I'm only 16, so I still live with my parents ofc. I have some SH scars that I've been covering up for a couple years now. With the weather getting warmer, I've been wanting to wear clothes that don't actually cover up my scars right? I'm hesitating though because I know it makes my mom sad and uncomfortable to see my scars.

Now here's the thing. My mom knew that I was doing SH while it was happening, which was for about a year and a half, and she never tried to stop me. She even said that I had ruined and mutilated myself when she first saw my scars, which tbh still hurts to this day and has made me more insecure that I really want to admit.

So anyway because of this, honestly I kinda want to disregard her discomfort about me exposing my scars. But obviously that seems kind of like an asshole move right? Idk I just want to be comfortable, and even though she's actually made me really insecure about my body, I want to wear comfortable clothes whether I'm around her or not. Idk I just don't want to be a dick so I'm not sure what to do :/
