My family won't ever mention anything related to feelings and emotions let alone speak about mental illness, if mentioned it is regarded as weakness and lack of power of will/laziness..
Seeing a therapist? stop talkin' about it and just do something with your life.. Instead of playing the piano, go and find a girl to marry already you're ******* 26 y/o...
I'm happy that at least my mother is more understanding ..

Back to topic, I'm quite surprised - I thought that you're more likely to find BP traits that run in family than not.
