As a child, I loved my mother dearly.  I always tried to imagine that we had a normal relationship and hoped that she would get better someday.  Hope was all the power I had and I truly believed in it, even as I watched her slip further and further away.

    Hello Daughter,

     

    You are going through a lot and I wish it could be better, yet you are going to have a newborn to bring you joy and you will love him or her with all your heart.

     

    What you feel is real, and natural.  I hope by writing SharePosts you find some comfort in a community of people who are traveling this path with you.

     

    Regards,

    Chri

    wow did your mother have this illness all of her life? i think my mom has had it for a long time but we didnt realize the serious problem she had untill she had a break down  from severe hallucination while at church . she wont take her meds like she is suppose to but what do you do as her daughter i mean do you sit back and pretend nothing is wrong? And watch her lose the little bit of mind she has left?

    I'm glad I found your posts. I feel the same towards my mother. It's getting more difficult to come up with appropiate answers as to why isn't she present for important events, such as my son's birth. She's getting worse and absolutely refuses treatment. I am not alone.
