[quote=Anonymous]I think that you don't miss out on taking the children to their grandparents since it is important for them to see them and have a good relationship with them. You can, however, prep your children ahead of time and put their Aunt's behavior in context so that they can act respectfully around her. You also can arrange for out-of-the-house visits like at a park or the zoo or at a restaurant. This is a good opportunity for you and your husband to model empathy to your children and to teach your children how to love a family member with mental illness. You might want to check out the NAMI website or others for resources on how to be supportive family members.[/quote]
