When I told my parents they really just didn't react at all. It was almost like they didn't hear what I was saying. It has been a year now since I told them and they still avoid the subject as much as possible. I recently educated them more on my depression side of it and my dad seemed to listen. So I think it takes time for someone to except the reality their child has a mental illness. I hope your parents are more willing to get educated then mine are.

Sugahorse thanks for sharing that. I'm going to print it out and share it with my husband and anyone else in my family willing to read it.
