[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP of that thread. For us, having a child exacerbated the mental illnesses. There was no way to tell before because he was masking it. Of course, hindsight is 20/20 but there were little incidents but it was really well hidden[/quote] I'm sorry you are dealing with it, OP. Just to expand on that, many GenX and Millennials who "mask" were not deliberately deceiving others. These were not things we talked about much -- knowledge was different. People weren't seen as having a diagnosis, just as not trying hard enough or not knowing enough. I think that is changing. But "masking" doesn't necessarily indicate deceit. It can mean unawareness and a lot of effort that just eventually fell apart when things became too rough, as they do in life. [/quote]
