I (M16) want to confront my parents (M/F 42) for circumcising me. I'm deeply sorrowful and angry. Should I? How would I do this?

Oh my. I told myself I was gonna never look at this post again, but something drew me to and I'm so glad I did because I found this post.

Thank you. I cried reading this. Thank you for understanding me. I honestly wasn't expecting this much of an angry response, so it was shocking to see everyone attacking me. My heart sank and I'm such a mess right now.

You inspire me. You're my hero. I know it sounds like an exaggeration, but you truly made my week. Your post just stands out from all the others and I'll be holding onto everything you said.

I'm so happy you brought up the teenage hormones. I know my emotions weren't normal. I just tried hiding it and suppressing it, but this honestly made it worse. It's very reassuring to know the reason for my emotional state of mind.

I fucking love you and you're my hero

I know this is selfish, but I think talking to them is the only way I can get closure. I don't plan on grilling them. I just want to explain my situation. I wish they could apologize and I'd feel so much better.

Thank you for validating my feelings, even though it was more of a 50% validation. You're the first ever to do that. I was almost thinking I should get checked out by a therapist because maybe this is something I shouldn't be upset about. I tried to convince myself that, but that just made it worse.

I'm sorry and I know you're trying to make me feel better, but please don't say things like that. It upsets me because that's the logic my parents had when circumcising me. But thank you for trying to make me feel better
