Should I tell my parents?

[Anonymous]

Im doing really well and made my parents very proud of me and care for them.

but when I were 6-9 I used to pretend I had asthma attacks and drop to the floor. Why? I wanted attention that’s why I did it. Very selfish and horrible what I did. They even took me to the hospital.

my plan was to have kids and treat them extremely well to make up for my dumb errors I made in life

Is it my duty to tell my parents the truth or just let it go?
I don’t know what the fuck I was doing at that age but it is something that will live with me forever. But there’s things I can d o to make up for the shame I caused

Tell them

No, no point now focus on a good future

No, it's not your duty and there is no need to bring up the past. You need to forgive the child that you once were. All children do crazy stunts and have proud moments as well as shameful moments. That's part of development. Maybe imagine yourself going back and talking to that child. What would you tell him? Would you hold a grudge against him? Forgive him.

Thank you it means a lot

I'm sure your parents won't be upset over something from when you were 6-9. You are old enough now to understand that what you did was immature but guess what? You WERE immature. Your brain was still developing and there's no way you could've seriously contemplated the consequences of your actions until you started/finished puberty. They might even laugh it off tbh!

You were a child when you did that. Let it go. Don't say anything to your parents. All kids do things that isn't right. I faked being sick when I was in school. I didn't tell my parents. What happened in the past stays in the past

Some things should better never come to the surface. Do you feel like you need to tell them? If not it might avoid a feud.

I see you realize that behavior back then was awful and I hope you won't raise up self entitled Karens

I feel like my parents would understand it’s just the shame and embarrassment of being such an idiot

Why tell them if your main motivation is to make yourself feel better, as it seems

Don’t tell them…they will surprise your finance and the wedding party with the Video…. 😎
