[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it that these people are able with severe mental ill Ed’s are able to hold it together until well after launching a career, marriage, kids, etc. Isn’t the onset of most mental illness in young adulthood? Or perhaps after so many years masked and untreated, it explodes in the 30s-40s?[/quote]

Yes correct. 
They can only focus on themselves and their immediate needs. 
Meanwhile their mother or nanny usually did everything for them and the household growing up. They just focused on getting good grades, a job and then society says get married.

But they cannot or will not see or fulfill the needs of other people or things. 
They are not healthy or functional enough to do that, and the output of unmanaged symptoms plus normal adult expectations (from the wife now, for her, the kids as the houses sake) cause them to stim, stonewall, explode on an increasingly frequent basis. They need professional help or they need to exit and go back to their simple life alone. [/quote]
