Yeah..
My mom actually knows about me being bipolar but I think she hasn't really fully accepted the fact that her oldest child has a mental illness. It's kind of hard because we live in a very conservative environment where if I "came out" about my mental problems people will shun me and label me as crazy. She has told me not to talk about this to anyone except her, basically. And she's very obsessed with me not messing up my education because of depression and she's very adamant that once I go to college everything will be great like a fairytale or something.. but thanks anyways , I think I'll write her a letter and leave it somewhere where she'll see it.
