I've never told my parents but I think my mom looked up or knew (she's a nurse) what meds I'm on. My dad use to steal them when I was visiting because "I didn't need those." but now my mom is real serious about me and my meds and they don't go missing when I visit.
Now I've told my mom when manic all about what was going on but I've always kept the psychosis close to me. Only my husband, son, T and pdoc know. I don't feel parents should know unless they're part of your treatment team.
Can you just tell you mom "Mom stop." when she says insensitive things? If not talk to your T and bring your mom into T with you one day.
