[quote=Anonymous]my mother suffers from some major anxiety and depression about the death of her mother. that all went down when I was in high school; so I was old enough to know what was going on and scared about it. my parents never talked about it. still don't. that said, she was basically together, or seemed that way, for most of my childhood; so I don't know that it has affected my adulthood a great deal. my husband's mother has some chronic and untreated mental illness. (my armchair diagnosis is bipolar, but she has refused to go anywhere near a shrink since she was briefly institutionalized in the 60s.) he remembers her mood swings from when he was a small child, and says she actually refused to speak to him for a month when he was 10. around high school, he just cut the cord and sees her/talks to her/deals with her as little as possible. it's fair to say he has attachment issues. they've been trying to reconnect since DD was born . . .[/quote]
