Alienatari:
I've never responded to you before, but gosh, a gut level reaction to what your parents said is: That is so terrible! I mean, how unsympathetic can you get? I feel for you. In my opinion, it's a miracle
a lot of us are still around, with the horrible parenting we got. Not trying to blame my, or anyone's, parents, just recognizing that many of us with mental illness just were not nurtured or cared for enough as children. And then, as adults, we have to go through the task of trying to relate to our parents as a adults, when they have damaged a part of us to such a state that we are drug dependant. That's the way I feel much of the time, anyway. I hope you find some peace of mind and the right med combo for yourself, alienatari. You deserve it.Chris
