samantha,
with me, my parents (as well as against medication) were against other things... mental health in general, mainly.
i had to go it alone- and seek treatment by myself and do you know something?
it's 1 of the hardest things i ever had to do... not in a physical sense, but mentally knowing that my own family had no hope that i was any use anyway. that was hard
