Aargh! I'm sorry that your family is not there for you right now. They should be able to show you the unconditional love and acceptance you need right now. Unfortunately, life is not always like that --
I have found this to be true among some family members. Even with my organic illness, some people can be supportive and some put their heads in the sand. Those who are most supportive are the ones who have been ill themselves -- which may be a source of comfort to you. Someday, when you get through this, you can help others.
I would suggest, while not cutting yourself off from your family, trying to find other safe, supportive people to confide in. I know friends are not the same when you need acceptance from your family, but they help patch the gap.
Good luck!
