Had a talk with my dad about some things.  As usual, he was able to cheer me up, hence deletion of previous post.

Still feeling upset, but my dad always helps when I finally work up the courage to tell him about stuff.  I don't know why I hesitate, but I do.  And I know I will in the future.  I didn't even tell him everything, but he knows enough for now, and I suppose that is good for the time being.
