[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it is hard. No one tells you about the bad days or how hard having a child with mental illness will be. Watching them get bullied. Watching them get hurt. Having them be awful (yet normal) teens. Realizing your worries will only grow as they age. Who will they marry? will their kids be ok, and so on. I love my kids very much but it is very very hard[/quote] This. Mental illness in a child changes the experience. Especially since at some point you realize it isn’t going to “end” anytime soon. Their struggles are going to continue into and likely be even worse in adulthood. The worrying is just unbelievably draining. And, yes, I’m in therapy and it is very helpful. But, overall, I understand where OP is coming from. [/quote]
