Troy,
Just tell your family that you are going to get help. You LOVE them and you want to be the best you can be. You don't have to explain.
If you get time in with a good therapist, then your therapist can arrange a meeting with your family to explain what you are trying to accomplish and how they can help you.
Just keep it simple, you can't explain something you, yourself don't really understand yet. It will be much better if your family can hear it from a professional that can give you more support by addressing them when the time comes.
I miss hearing from you, was worried, glad to hear you are trying, that is a good start.
