@mindboggle18 I have an aunty who is also a Doctor. I found it useful using her to explain to my parents the clinical sides of things in my early days of disgnosis. 

I think her reaction to it all and her being able to advise my parents that having a mental illnes is very common and not a life sentence really helped my parents stay focused.
I am lucky that my aunty is very close with my family and non judgemental.
