[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The loneliness of having a kid with serious mental health issues. As one of my friends has said, it’s not a casserole condition. You don’t get meal trains. People start to avoid you because your life is always in crisis. You learn that people who say “call me if you need anything” don’t mean it and it hurts because you were there for them. Not that I was looking for anything g but I would have liked not to have been dropped. Everything else was expected. The loss of sleep. The career hit. The body changes - which get worse with menopause. [/quote] Yup. And the need to handle the constant barrage of being judged, knowing people are thinking behind your back “if only they were properly disciplined..” and having to do every single thing schools, communities ask in spades to keep from being shunned, even when it has no effect. The total powerlessness you feel because it really is an illness, and not a particularly treatable one either.[/quote]
