[QUOTE="totoro, post: 322179, member: 3155"] Hi I wanted to welcome you also! You are a wonderful person for what you are doing for your family. As a person who has so much Mental Illness and addiction in my family including, personality disorders. Some have pulled it together and function OK. Some never did. Some function but should have serious medications and therapy but refuse. All of my family have refused help except me. They have done it on their own or not on their own. But I would have never taken help from my family. Some Mentally Ill people need to find stability on there own. Unless they are completely unable to deal with reality or non-functioning in society. Then I agree that most need to go out on their own and struggle a bit. Knowing that they have family, if they choose to help themselves is key. But they have to struggle and figure things out for themselves and learn how to ask for help. If she would go to therapy she could learn how to control her moods with the possible addition of medications as well. Mental Illness is not an excuse, it is just a part of who she is. Glad you found us [/QUOTE]
