I didn't tell my mother. She's in her 80s and we barely speak. I mentioned it to my brother via text in the midst of a different conversation about our health, and he didn't comment. I told one cousin in America via Facebook, and she said something like "Oh, I can see that!", before changing the subject. My family isn't known for communicating thoughts or feelings so this isn't unusual at all. No one really speaks to anyone about significant issues, and especially not me, because I'm selective mute.
