Word, I am crying now. Thanks for this.

These comments were not intended to be hurtful or critical, but are questions that popped into my mind as I read this thread.
You are looking for advice and solace, and the information necessary to provide any meaningful response, other than some "hand-holding", was missing.
At 29 years of age, if your parents are still providing a roof over your head and food on the table, they are certainly entitled to know that you have been diagnosed. In fact, I'm not sure how or why you have avoided the conversation thus far. It's good you have talked to them about it.
The next step, of course, is to formulate a plan that will put you on your own two feet as an independent, self supporting member of society.
I wish you the best of luck!
