[QUOTE="completelydrained, post: 742308, member: 23455"] After spending 15 years of my life in the addiction world for parents, and siblings. And then in the world of NAMI and other support and information groups for mental illness since 1997 I can say there is an extremely fundamental difference. I remember my son's first appointment with his neuro psychiatric. His most emphasized advice to us the parents was "No stress". After finally learning through much personal hard and long work on myself I had finally gained the strength and confidence to be a person who could express her feelings instead of holding them inside. And then bam, suddenly I had to become someone who had to hold any feelings that may be upsetting to my son inside, until I could find someone, somewhere to safely bring them to. The difference is stark and compelling. [/QUOTE]
