My dad's way of understanding what I'm going through is that I'm "goofy". And my brother who is 4 years older than me didn't know until last year when I just casually mentioned it in conversation not knowing that he didn't know. I don't think he understands what it means. Neither of them have shown any direct support but they're supportive in their own ways. My brother said if I lose my housing and in his words "become a bum" I can come live with him and his wife because he makes 95,000$ a year at NASA. My mom and dad would always take me back in if they had too. But my mom is the real supportive one. She still doesn't quite get it though. I'm glad she at least tries.
