Family Support on Op

I’m only 20, so I’m one of the babies in the family….Thinking family are supposed to be there for you when you need them – it seems they don’t understand my pain!

1) Cousins, friends, boyfriend = completely understand my want and need for rhino and agree that it’s what I’ve wanted since about age of 10 and if it upsets me every day then I should have the right to sort it!

2) Mother – couldn’t care enough to bat an eyelid about the fact I’m going for an operation or what they’re going to do…she was just interested in how much its costing me and ‘if it looks ok’ she will consider having it

3) Nan, aunty etc – think my nose is lovely and therefore are trying to talk me out of it, even though I explained how long I’ve cried over it and how I can’t talk to people in the face because I’m ashamed and have no confidence….they SHOUT at me for being so ridiculous!

I mean, how ridiculous – if my child told me that she’d been crying for 10 years over something and was completely unconfident and ashamed by a feature – I’d be completely supportive!

Just gets me down because the only people who understand are the ones that aren’t over 30!!

It makes me want to avoid family because they just put me down about it every time!!

Bless you chick. I totally understand how your feeling as I’ve went throught it all. All my family and friends said that I was gorgeous and they didn’t notice my nose and I’m still Ashley. But my mam and dad understood what I have been through with it, and they said when I turned 21 and still felt the same then they are behind me. So just had my op last week and had so much support from my friends and family. It’s a thing we do for ourselves for more confidence so I say ignore the bad remarks and do what you feels best. I’m one of those people where if I want something I will make sure and try my hardest to get it. I’m now 8 days post op and so happy I have a straight nose…my confidence will be so high now. It’s funny cause I still feel like I’ve got a big nose but haven’t…funny emotions. But good luck chick and do what you feel is best Xxx

Thanks,

I know it’s really annoying it’s like they think it’s up to them whether my nose looks okay or if I feel okay with it…and it’s not they don’t have to live with it!

I get so happy thinking that it’s going to be changed and stuff!

Ah wow how did everything go ! ?

Can I add you have a look please? xxxx

Yeah no bother we are already friends so have a look Xx
