[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 596068, member: 1721"] difficult child has actually said that to me, Recovering. In the past, I have reacted with shock and anger at what I perceived as her disregard for the feelings of those who love her when she puts herself in danger. Somewhere in here, she must have said something similar to me, about the weight of my expectations, about feeling badly when I worry. She actually does say things like, "Mom! I just want you to be happy." (So frustrating!) But, as I hear here all the time, understanding how to do what we need to do, for our children's sakes and for our own, takes time. You are further along the path than I am, Recovering. But I see that there is a way to go, some way to do this. And you are right, about the perception of mental illness in other cultures....
