Your post doesn't specify in what way they don't understand, but it might help if you showed them some depression/other mental illness resources online (like here on psychcentral), let them read it, and then discussed how that applies to your situation. Do you think that they'd take the time to listen and try to understand? If so, that might be a good way to open up the lines of communication again! Good luck!
