[QUOTE="ksm, post: 475907, member: 12511"] I know it helped keep some things from escalating by not the obvious... you you do have people who love you, yes you do have an adequate amount of name brand clothing. When she is in this mode, I know that I can't be logicalwith her. It doesn't work! Then we have two people who are just yelling at each other. I had never heard of NAMI classes, until our church hosted the organization - so it was in our newsletter. Since this was right after I heard the "poss bipolar diagnosis" I was scared and went. It started out as a group of 18... but about 14 of us are still in there. All but one person was a parent of a person with mental illness... and the majority had adult children, which sounds much harder to deal with as you have no rights to know if they are taking their medications or showing up for appointments. At least I am still in the loop. The two people teaching the class have adult children who was diagnosis as schizophrenic as late teens. So they understand our frustrations. Check out the NAMI site to see if there are meetings near you. The classes I go to are from 7 to 9pm once a week for 12 weeks. We are on week 9 - but I missed a couple when I had shoulder surgery.
