You are very strong. Anyone dealing with a mental illness are very strong and very courageous.

As for your parents, they need to be educated on your disorder. Maybe once you're there will have the opportunity to talk to them. You'll know when it's the right time. Be yourself when you're there. They need to see you for who you are.

You don't have to do all of this right away but gradually work into it.

They'll come around eventually. Be your own advocate. Stand your ground in a very respectful way.

Good luck
