Your mom and girlfriend are just protective of you and want you to be happy, and are maybe overdramatizing things out of their own fears rather than because the situation warrants it. Just tell them that you're ok - it could be that they don't know that! Make sure they know that you love them and you appreciate their concern, and yeah the situation could have turned out better but it also could have been a whole lot worse. Make sure they know that you want to be supported, not protected. Good luck, dude. You've handled this better than a lot of people would have.
