I never really told mine. They got told things by teachers, doctors and friends and by reading my diaries and blogs. I wish I had sat down with them and spoken about it now. It was hard for them to take but my mum has been through similar experiences so she understood and since then my dad had a breakdown so I think in some ways he can relate too but at the time it seemed like hell. I felt ashamed and embarrassed and lied as much as I could about everything possible. They didn't take any of it well but managed as best as they could as parents I guess.
