Husband joined years back when our difficult child 1 was really destroying ours and her own life.  He learned many coping tools.  I think they are a good organization and we have supported them monetarily in the past.  My issues stem from a recruiting call that they made to my home. I declined to do volenteering that would seriously cut into my time.  I still had kids at home difficult child 2 was acting out and in trouble with the law. I was working and fighting off a serious illness and husband was working long hours and in therapy himself.  The recruiter got very nasty with me.  While I realize this was just one person who likely had his own problems, I didn't deserve the guilt trip he tried to lay on me and have not been inclined to use NAMI since.  -RM
