[quote=Anonymous]The only positive someone feels in helping a mentally ill spouse is the positive that they are trying to keep a family together and functioning. It's a natural healthy reaction to want to keep something together that you helped build and are a part of. Eventually it often becomes too much work and they have to detach or get professional help for the mentally ill spouse but they aren't looking for a gold star by helping. The are trying to keep the spouse from self-destructing. No one is giving out gold stars to spouses in this situation. On the contrary, they are often blamed for getting into the situation in the first place. That doesn't mean they always know how to help. Many professionals don't know how to help.[/quote]
