Okay, we’ll begin with the event to set off the current unease and than backtrack to understand. Last night I was telling my father about how I should be seeing a doctor about getting some of my meds refilled as they are out of refills. He said he’d see about setting up an appointment with a doctor and said he’d ask about mole removal too. How is this a problem? Let me explain briefly.
About 6 months back I noticed a little bump on my leg and told my mother about it. “Oh, it’s just an ingrown hair,” or otherwise, she didn’t care. Fast forward 4 months, I now have this large crusty thing sitting mid-shin of my leg. I go to my father because at this point my mom is out of the house (separated) and he said he’ll see about doing something about it. A month in the future he hadn’t even mentioned it once.
Frustrated, depressed, fed up with this thing and needing blood I decided that instead of just making marks I would actually do something productive. So…I cut that thing off. (If it helps that’s been the last time I’ve had a blade to my skin though there has been many close calls) so now all I have is smooth scar tissue where that thing was.
Okay, long story short. He’s now talking about getting it removed and being extremely timid I have no idea how to approach him and tell him how this thing is ‘just gone,’ and don’t want to end up in a doctor’s office and have to explain there that it’s already gone. Any ideas of how to approach the subject with my father in a positive manor? Thanks in advance
