Seriously Jackie, the more I think about it the more I am against letting your folks into this mess. They love you and they'll take sides. Maybe I am wrong, but quoting Dragontales 'I wish I wish with all my heart' I had not told my folks. My brothers and sisters can deal with it, and be detached; my parents took it personally. Actually a friend warned me not to tell them but it was one week too late. That is the one thing I'd change of all I've gone through in the last 11 months.
