[QUOTE="Laker16, post: 728717, member: 22808"] Hi Recoveringenabler, Please forgive me, I just want to be sure I understand what you wrote. Do you belive it is possible for a mentally ill person who won't/can't accept that they have an illness to be independent and make some sort of a life? Do the people in your family get treatment despite not believing they are ill, or are they surviving on their own despite not getting help? I guess in my mind the only way I think our son can have a life where he has stability (shelter,food,etc.) is by managing his condition with medical help. If he doesn't get help, in my mind I could only see a future of homelessness, being unhealthy, unsafe, and alone. I'm sure that imagined future drives my desperation and is defintely the FOG you mentioned. I'm sorry to hear that your daughter wouldn't take advantage of the government help you tried to get her. I hope that is not the case with our son. We will find out this weekend. It is hard to have a wonderful relationship with your spouse and yet have the peace and joy ripped out of your life together by this illness. We have to do whatever we can to get them back. Thanks again for your replies and encouragement. [/QUOTE]
