Hi @ninablack

Welcome to the Forums.

I can totally understand your sadness - you're doing your best to help them understand - it must be tough.

Outside of this matter, do you generally have a good relationship with your family / friends or is it impacting the relationship more broadly?

It can definitely take some time for family and friends to come around and be more open, so I really hope that happens soon for you.

Perhaps other members here can share their experiences educating their family & friends about their diagnosis?
