Because they either do not understand or they are deliberately ignorant.

Whose opinion matters more to you? The one you love or the ones who share your blood?

Last question how come my mum or sister don't want to know about my mental health or refuse to believe I experience what I'm diagnosed with?

I'm trying to understand why they are like this. Because it really hurts me.
I think a lot of parents do not want to understand mental illness because they see it as a reflection on themselves. As if they had done something different you wouldnt have issues or that they did something wrong. They make it about THEM when it should be about you. As far as siblings go many times they take their cues from parents.
