Adinva,

For me, I made the conscious decision to keep it from my family and so the only ones who know about H's A are two very close friends who I know will walk through coal for me and H's parents. I told them because they were so worried about his leaving so suddenly and because after much thought, I realized that there are only three people in the world who can forgive H for what he's doing: me and his folks so I keep the circle really tight. As for my family, they don't know, they only know H was depressed and needed some space. My folks would worry too much and they're elderly and my siblings would probably go and confront him which is not what I want.
