about question
I need some perspective. Recently, someone in my family caused a major financial mess, and my parents strictly asked me to keep it a secret and not tell anyone around us. but because i was so stressed and overwhelmed by the situation, i accidentally vented about it online to a small group of friends in a private Discord server. it was TMI, but i didn't share any real names, ages, or locations, and I immediately deleted the post after an hour once I calmed down.
but now, I feel horribly guilty for breaking my parents' trust. i'm also deeply anxious about whether someone might have screenshotted it, even though my profile doesn't contain any real-life info about me (it's just a typical Discord account). Should I confess to my parents that I slipped up online, or should I just keep it to myself, learn from it, and move on? I'm so lost right now... i feel bad
