Unfortunately, although you feel quite alone having to shoulder your quandary and feeling some estrangement from family members who are unaware of your dilemma, sharing details about what is happening is risky because it is very unlikely you will be believed. In all likelihood, this can worsen things because people will begin to doubt your sanity and that will not be a good thing, it will begin to influence not only how they see you but how they react to you and that would be unfortunate. You may well need family to rely on in the future, so to share a dark secret that will likely be misunderstood in any event, puts you at risk of being someone less desirable and even a threat to be around. That is the last thing you need to have happen if a crisis should occur where you are simply ill physically and need someone to do favors, and so forth. You will need a backup and it is too high a price to risk ostracizing those in your circle simply to have an outlet for sharing the burden you carry.
This is unfortunate and unfair and we do sympathize, but just keep in mind that humans are heavily programmed to disbelieve anything involving extraterrestrials and the more outlandish the story, the more they will buy into the propaganda that the person is likely delusional who has such ideas, particularly the more outlandish ones. There are many ways you can reach out and promote a friendship that will bear fruit. If you give love from yourself, it will be returned at some point and that would be an excellent investment. So acts of kindness, remembrances, compliments, and in ways you can be pleasant and of good cheer, that will put money in the bank, so to speak, for times when you may be in need of solace or comforting and then your family will be there for you.
To appear too controversial risks burning bridges and putting people off, causing them to keep a distance, which could hurt you in the end. There are many holding dark secrets by which we only mean things that must be hidden for the benefit of others as well as the self in many cases, so you are in good company. Keep in mind that is only one dimension of your being. Even though it weighs on you a lot, there are many ways you can relate to your family and share things and give of yourself and be of value to them. That is a good investment to be involved with because it will strengthen the bonds of friendship and love and that is good insurance for tough times.
