I know the pain you are going through. My scars are very real too and
affects my relationships with people. Getting help is important. Getting
support from friends is a good start towards healing process. I took
the liberty of forwarding your anonymous note to Dean Randolph asking
that he comment on it. You have great concerns on how to handle this,
I can only say that I trust Randolph to be able to help you deal with this.
It will be dealt with confidentially and will not appear on your records.

First, seeking help does not mean that anything will be on your record.
Talking these issues through with a professional can help and no one is
going to blow your cover. That I can promise.
Second, you have been abused as much as if you had been beaten and ended
up in a hospital. Healing will take time and it may that you will want
at some time to talk with your siblings about this so that healing can
begin there first; eventually some sort of confrontation with you
parents might be possible.
Finally, while your experience is extreme I think you are not alone.
Your story is repeated often in this community and by speaking you may
be able to appropriate the experience in coping of others.
I would like to talk with you.
