How do I tell my parents what happened
I just got back from the hospital, (24m) in college, as I was getting tested for STI’s. I was assaulted by another man. I’m from the US and have good insurance but it‘s my parents insurance. I’m terrified about what will happen when they’re sent the bill. I also can’t afford the prep without their heath savings account as it’s around $4,100. My mom and step dad don’t really talk about my sexuality. Me and my mother have made leaps and bounds in repairing our relationship and I’m scared she’s not going to want me around. what if I contracted aids, she’s shunned a gay friend in the past who got it. What if she’s mad at me, what if she sees me differently.
I live on the East coast and am on the west coast right now for a summer internship.
I feel like the system has failed me. I feel so hopeless. I can’t afford what could be life saving medication on my own. If I have to pay that by myself I’ll have to drop out of. grad school. I want to focus on healing, but there’s so many loops I hand to jump through
what can I do
