[quote=Anonymous]OP again. We all share in common here, I believe, the goal of doing what is really best for children. When a mental illness is involved, there are no easy answers. The exchange above demonstrates that.

I was just talking to a friend whose wife is a paranoid schizophrenic. He recalls seeing his son asking "Mom, who are you talking to?"

When we lose someone mentally, we are haunted. It's just how it is. Compassion is absolutely essential. But boundaries, however imperfect, need to be established. I am lucky enough to have community and family support as well as a few professionals. I seek advice, and I take it all in. I know in my heart, and all the people who know my efforts know that I have not ever turned by daughter against her father.  However, I have also been the only one to really protect her from harm, because DH was too sick to do so. He WANTED to, but he could not.

His love for her, I believe, will be the key in his recovery. And it should be. Again, she deserves to know the guy I saw. Even if he is gone. I hope he is still "in there". BEcause he was loving and kind, and a good person.[/quote]
