[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 708138, member: 13303"] Thank you for this. I will remember it when I am feeling similarly about my brilliant but deeply troubled/mentally ill stepson. We have no contact with him by his choice - we were hopeful that might be changing of late, but after he secured consent to attend online high school, he has reverted to his old ways of shutting us out. He has a younger brother who is starting to now show signs of trouble as well. We don't have a "nice family" in my household and never will - the best we can hope for is that the periods of calm will be longer and longer and that we will remain in some type of limited contact. There is no magic pill that will fix a family or cure mental illness. Sometimes things just don't work out the way that we hope, and we have to accept that. [/QUOTE]
