Parents can be hard because they would have to face that they "missed" something, and that it's a hereditary and real disease. Back in the day it was also "bad" to see a psychiatrist, and she probably doesn't want to think there is something "wrong" with you, because that would not be good. Even just 30 or 40 years ago people like us were locked up and never heard from again. My parents wont face it either. Wont even look into what I have, or face the fact that my brother needs help too. I've tried but he doesn't listen.

There is nothing you can do about it. You just have to accept the fact that they are the way they are about it, and not bring them into your support circle. It will just make you feel bad, and slow down your moving on, acceptance of the disease, and recovery. Don't shut her out, just don't talk about it with her. I have the same issues with my family. Sorry to hear you have to suffer, but I think all of us have this situation with someone, or some people. Hope this helped.
