I recently found out that after I went to the hospital, my fiance did a bunch of research on all of it and learned as much as he could, just so he could help me. I love him for it but it opened my eyes to my family. They all said I needed to grow up and get over it. That they didn't need to learn about a fake illness.

Wow. That is really sad. I'm so sorry, Só leigheas. It is very, very hard when you are the scapegoat in your family, when you're the one who points out the sickness in the tribe, and you are rejected because they don't want to take a lighted look at themselves. Behind the ignorance is a lot of fear. Sad, sad.
