Circumcision and Feelings of Inadequacy

22M was circumcised and have had chronic skin irritation and skin stretching causing repeated injuries. There was a period of time growing up when I would be afraid to get hard because the skin would stretch. A wound reopened and all of those feelings are flooding back.

It's so unhealthy to hold onto the resentment from my parents being complicit with the procedure. I just tell myself that they're always trying their best.
