[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 625644, member: 1550"] Mental illness is a brain disorder, not something your child gives you. You can suffer stress, but if you really lose touch with reality, it has nothing to do with anyone but your own DNA. I was the black sheep, as I call it. We never went to counseling as a family. I'm glad. I know everyone would have pointed a finger at me and knowing me I would have refused to have gone back after bawling like a baby. Psychology is theory and the more they know, the more scientists are putting these theories out of business. Not that long ago (in my early years) autism was considered a mental illness (a form of severe schizophrenia) that happened because a child had a "refrigerator mother." Forty years later we know Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a neurological problem, not a form of schziophrenia caused by ANY kind of mother. And we also know that schizophrenia is a hereditary brain disease, not caused by life but by genes. You had nothing to do with mom's mental illness and I'm sorry you had to go through hearing that you caused your mother's problems. [/QUOTE]
