I know i'm late to this thread but wanted to say WOW what a brave lady. My t always pushed me to tell my family so that i'd have more understanding, but that they would as well.

I couldn't do it. i didn't want them feeling responsible for me in any way. now that they're older, i've told them a bit more and it makes so much sense to them, but they don't act like they want to hear more. i asked if they would've wanted to know "back then". they did tell me that some explantion would've been good, but not detail. I guess i should've compromised some with t.

i'm so glad for you. it seems as though they responded just as you needed.
