So for the past 2 years ive wanted to get my belly button pierced but my divorced parents said no. My dad promised me that if i lost 30 lbs that he would take me and my mom told me that I would have to wait till im 18. Im turning 17 in 8 days and my stepdad said that my mom should let me get it pierced but she goes off saying that o have to lose weight because she doesnt want me showing my stomach and attracting attention to it. Within the past 2 years i have lost 20 lbs and am very close to what my dad wanted. My weight problems are caused by my mom. She admitted it to the doctor that gave me diet pills. Both of my parents are the only people who have ever commented on my weight because they are " trying to protect me from being hurt" but they are the only ones who ever hurt me
