[quote=Anonymous]I think that there was just this (long) mourning period and now I feel fine about things. When I was 25 I learned that my mom had been diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder and mild schizophrenia. I realized that all my hopes at having the kind of parent-child relationship I wanted (and deserved) was fruitless. Acceptance was hard, but looking back, it was such a relief. I'm now 40, and actually I love my mom more now that my expectations for her and our relationship are reasonable. Hang in there! It's like with kids, it does get better, but not as quickly as we would like. [/quote]
