Hi there. there are places in the Marietta/Cobb area where the Deaf people meet -- you know, gathering/social -- at Cumberland, NorthPoint, Arbor Place and I think, Town Center mall on a Saturday every month. There are couple of Churches where the Deaf attend on Sundays. Maybe taking your family to one will help them understand where you are coming from?
 
You're not the only one. A lot of deaf people go through that problems when their family doesn't acknowledge the need to sign.

I'm deaf, but my parents don't sign. My brother learned to sign because he had deaf friends, but continued to remember those signs for me.

Have you tried talking to your parents? Explain to them about your needs?

Do you ever bring deaf friends to your house?
 
alot of us here on ad have experienced that. i know i have -- too many times to count, in fact.
