so, hey /adv/

so, i just semi-recently got these scars on the right side of my face. they're not raised but they're obvious, one on my jawline and the other across my cheek.

i don't really know how to get over them - i hate talking to people even more so than before, and find myself contorting my face so the people i'm talking to don't see them.

and worse so, if they see them and ASK, i have to hurry and come up with an answer (which, really, shouldn't be hard but i get anxious).

so question 1: how do i get rid of scars/how do i get over having them in such a visible area?

as for the rest, the reason i have the scars is due to a family "altercation" with my father. it's happened on and off since i was a child and the weird thing is, there was this inkling before this incident that i could "forgive" him to some degree but ever since, i can't even look at myself without thinking of him and i get irrationally angry.

my mom tells me i'll get over it, it's cold of me to be upset still, or wish i had when he dies, and, of course, i don't believe that but i thought maybe talking to some anons about it would help out. i want to cut contact with them both when i move out and i guess i'm looking for some advice - am i being coldhearted? is cutting contact the best decision?
