Hi Dr. Skipper - Personally i don't see the point in telling your parents - if you wish to do so because deep down you're seeking reassurance or acceptance and you feel your parents won't react well then its probably best you keep the matter to yourself. Hopefully telling them you have a fascination with the period should satisfy their curiosity. Im sorry if ive misunderstood what you were asking but this is how i interpreted the post. All the best.
