#mental illness parents coping suoport bpd help

Being a parent is really hard

I thought the baby years would define me as a parent, sleepless night and endless nappy changes.  But that was the fun bit.  The not fun bit of parenthood is being a bystander to your teenagers life falling apart due to mental illness.

Watching your loved one on a self destruct mode,  sitting in A&E during a crisis and being an unpaid taxi driver to endless appointments (all the while being ignored or not spoken to) is rough. 

I wish I could find an answer and make it all better.  I wish I was allowed into her secret world to understand better how much pain she is in. I wish we could move forward and be a family who wasn't constantly walking on eggshells.
