Not much worse than having a friend secretly rail your ex. That's my life story, I played the same role as you. The only difference is instead of having a critical breakdown and being sent into a ward, I became jaded and never fully trusted anyone again. I also became numb to my own actions and self.

I'm sorry you went through that OP. I hope you are well surrounded, with a great therapist and your family. I hope you learn to stand your ground and set strong boundaries.

You don't need J and P in your life. It's highly probable that she fucks him over too at some point. If he comes crawling back to you, don't answer. What you went through is enough of a cautionary tale.

A shitty situation for sure, and you were probably way too young to deal with it properly. Keep getting help mate.

It seems also that this situation was exacerbated by some underlying mental health issues you didn't know that you had. Stay on track and make sure to deal with it as you clearly have the tendencies of destruction.

Best of luck!

If anything it'll lighten the mood with a joke. They are dreading the conversation probably as much or more as you are and also probably won't make it a long one.

I dunno what specifically the content was but if you can pass it off as just artistic or art related I'd go that route. If it's clearly slappin material... You can always go the 'stumbled on it out of curiosity' route and then listen to the lecture.

Since you're 15, most sensible parents are, or should be, not surprised at this coming up at some point soon.

Hoping they aren't super religious, sexphobic, or bigoted people for your sake. If they are just regular ol' tolerant/accepting people then the anxiety will be worse than the actual discussion.

Also you're really young. you'll have plenty of time to fall in and out of love again.

Remember the good bits, don't fret over the bad, everything ends.

This too shall pass.

(But also choose better friends and girlfriends. Don't be afraid to drop poor ones because we become like the people we spend time with.)
