Hi @Cinnamon_ . First off, I want to say how incredibly proud and happy I am for you for the progress you've made.
I can only imagine the conflicting emotions that come with receiving financial compensation for such a traumatic experience. It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed and question the value assigned to your pain. However, I know it's hard but please don't invalidate yourself or what you've been through. It's okay to be unsure about how to process all of this as it must be a lot to handle.
It must be difficult not being able to share this with your parents. The isolation in all of this must make it a lot more complicated for you, and I'm sorry you feel like you have to figure this out on your own. Do you have any other support system you can go to about this, maybe a trusted friend or relative?
There's no rush to decide what to do with the money or how to feel about it. Take the time you need as you've come a long way ❤️ I'm wishing you a wonderful rest of your day 🙂
