[QUOTE="Fran, post: 416247, member: 3"] Hello and welcome. I read your story and want to say how sorry I am that your life has been disrupted by the mental illness that plagued your husband. I understand your fear for your daughter. Much of this is out of your control. The best you can do is research newest treatments, get expert opinions but love her, set boundaries and be prepared to advocate for her to the outside world and even save her from herself. The hard choices that go against every mommy instinct sometimes help. It was important to me that I remember that he is a person and not a diagnosis. I try hard to respect him and treat him with dignity especially when he was at his worst and really not deserving of the decent treatment but I hoped to teach by example even if the fruits of that particular labor aren't evident for many years. My thoughts about your situation is that you are doing a good job already but may need to keep searching for the best treatments, environments and medications out there. The other children in the family should not have to suffer from a delusional, psychotic dad and then have a sister who is out of control. Balancing the needs of one with the needs of the rest is difficult. Hopefully, we can share our stories and support and it will help you. You certainly aren't alone. [/QUOTE]
