Would you tell your parents if your partner is going through many issues such as depression, anxiety, bullying, eating disorders, and child protection services? Or would it be useless to involve them?

If they would be supportive and helpful in the situation, then I might mention it. Some parents would form a negative opinion of the partner and continuously bring up something bad, to make him or her look bad or feel bad about themselves.

You know your parents. Would they be helpful to you in this time of stress, or would they add to it and make you feel worse?

Wow. That would be a lot for you to carry on your own.  There is nothing wrong with having a support system. I don't think you would tell your parents to hurt your mate, but wouldn't you be telling them to help you through this stressful situation. The bible tells us at Proverbs 15:22: "There is a frustrating of plans where there is no  confidential talk" . Are your parents good at keeping things confidential? Can they be trusted to keep the confidence of those you love? If so talk to them, it would be good for you,
