No one tells u this. All we here about is US US US protecting our own mental health. But extending compassion for an ill parent is the most compassionate act one can do to give back and not regret it many years down the line. Thank u for this message! ❤

I wish there was a free support group for people, especially children dealing with this. Its an experience so difficult to endure.

Sometimes this is not possible.The person with mental illnes does not want any help,but only wants you to give and give and you just need to make the decision to walk away or go down with the ship. Its not easy,every case is different

I agree with you 100%. We don't abandon them after incidents. We walk with them through it. 🙏

I thoroughly enjoyed your talk, THANK YOU. I have a 42 year old son MIA undiagnosed and spending his life savings causing mayhem. I've given him over to the foot of the cross for redemption. I have no control contact. In and out of jail.

Mental health is a real concern even though just a few get to talk about it. Great speech!

I have dealt with this my entire life. And still am. There does not seems to be any resources to help us cope with this. For years I thought I was alone. Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤️

I am finding my outlet now. I try to walk daily. My brother is bipolar and addict/alcoholic. It has been a terrible 17 year storm but I am trying to navigate it all.

Having to co-parent with someone that suffers from mental illness on top of other trauma has been the hardest thing I've gone through. What a roller-coaster ride this has been 😢
