@mercerspring thank you for your kind words and sharing. You have given a lot and been through so much already. You’re right, it’s much easier when they will agree to treatmemt and one gets periods of calmness. Once he gets back to being stable after this last episode, I am praying for a calm period. I am adding you to my prayers that your son seeks treatment for his sake as well as yours and your family. It is so hard to be in that position. Please keep writing and stay in touch, I have found this portal so helpful, at the least to see that we are not alone. We never tell anyone and live with this in secret, it’s so hard. Prayers

@bewildered , I know that you want the best for your son and it breaks my heart to hear how much you’ve been through, I truly feel that mental illness is one of the cruelest disease that can happen in our lives, I used to watch my husband look so lost and frustrated and I felt like my best friend is gone, it was almost like a death had occurred but he was still around physically, the reason why I say that it’s one of the worst diseases because you lose your loved one so quickly and you can’t even discuss the simplest things with them.
