Time can heal all wounds, as long as you don't do anything to widen the wound. Honestly, instead of running from your parents while you are upset, stick around and do what you have to do on a day to day basis. Be there to talk to them. Answer questions when they ask. Explain the reasons why you chose what you did, and demonstrate to them that you understand you have a future when you return. The military can open many doors in the civilian world.

Enjoy your time at home, no matter how awkward it may be right now. Because before, during and after training you will be htinking of home. When you are in another country, sitting around at night waiting for your patrol to start, you'll be thinking of home. DO NOT leave home with dark thoughts. Should the worst come to happen, make sure they saw you leaving with a smile and a hug. So.. very.... important... to you and your parents.

Good luck man, and thanks for stepping up.

Been there, done that.
