Diagnosis was a relief but my parents are grieving

They reacted to my diagnosis like I told them I was dying. They're sad, angry, mourning the 'normal' child they thought they had. Meanwhile I'm just feeling... seen for the first time.

My clarity is their tragedy.

How do you navigate your own relief when the people who raised you are grieving?
