Some will say I’m a little immature and I can admit I have faults. I need to grow in some areas and act more mature.

I’m 23 years old and the long story short is I was attending college on and off and living at home until May or so, when I took an internship I was really happy with, in a position I’ve dreamed of having for years. It turned into a full time job and since I had only ever gone to college sporadically with little to show for it I decided I couldn’t pass up the opportunity so I took the job and left my parent’s house abruptly.

I knew they’d be crazy mad about me leaving school and that anxiety was making it hard to concentrate on this new job I really didn’t want to fuck up, so I cut off communication in mid August, shortly after leaving.

Obviously Thanksgiving is coming up and my sister texted me letting me know the dates she’ll be at my parent’s house. I haven’t spoken to them in 2 1/2 months now and have no idea what they’re thinking — whether they’re still pissed, would want me to come home or not, etc

How should I address this predicament? I know I need to fix the situation and ASAP. Should I just fly home and show up by surprise, or is that too risky?
