I told my mom after I'd been in therapy for about two years. I told her that I didn't want to talk about it and would bring it up if I ever did. I later gave her info about my diagnosis and asked her to read it. I asked her a couple times if she'd read it but both times she said no. She is supportive in that I live with her rent free, but I don't think she likes me being in therapy. She's probably got reason not to like it since she's a big part of my problems. Ah, well...at least I can joke about it.
I think you have to give people time to process stuff like this. I mean, I am still not comfortable with my diagnosis so how can I expect someone else to be?
