Well, this is my first post here. I read alot of others posts, and tried to take in alot to keep from being redundant in what I have to say.

This is my first true mental effort in trying to reach out and get some help. I guess I refrain from all the bitter details (I feel even more awful just thinking about my position in life) and get to the point of: how exactly to you break it to your family that you want to seek some therapy.

Its extremely hard considering that I know they are/were part of the problem for the self destructive way I am today. Its so hard knowing that in order for me to make this step I need thier support, yet every time I try to bring up the issue they immeadately brush it off to the side. Its even more depressing when you don't even have family to run to.

Well, enough whining ...I guess what I want to know is have any of you guys out there had the same problems with tell your family you need help? If so how do you get past that wall...

In general how make someone who is part of the problem listen when they seem to not want to?

Thanks for your time and reading this...took a bit of thinking and rewriting in how I wanted to say this.
