Thanks all. I think I will tell them. I just feel weird not. Not because I think just cause their my parents and they have some sort of 'right' to know. I just want to be free to speak openly about. I know in reality, no one can speak freely really due to stigma, but I at least want the freedom to know my family members can't go 'You share with others and not us, after all we've done for you' rant.

Maybe I'll get my boyfriend to be with me. He had to take care of me when I crashed recently, he hasn't seen me like that before, so maybe if they hear what he's had to deal with too it may stop them thinking it somehow they're fault.

grizmom, oh man my mum would totally be trying to stop our relatives finding out. Hell, she tries to stop my relatives knowing I have a boyfriend!
