A good friend hid his bikes from his parents - his brother had died as a child and he didn't want them to worry. After worrying about it for at least 2 or 3 years, hassle from us and his own honesty and openness won through. He now goes to his parents house on the bike & it's accepted that it is part of him. Doesn't help with your problem though - it seems to be about the grief they give you. I tend towards opening my mouth and letting things out - take it or leave it!
AndyPandy. No you had a valid point and as my Best friend Dozers Dad told me everyone is entitled to their opinion. In a way we are all right. Just hope it spurs HolaBlondie on to come clean and repair those bridges.. Kind Regards Joe.
