Well, you were prepared. It's so hard to remember what we have read about approaching our children with these disorders. I do better if I clarify my daughter's feelings than take on what she says, i.e. anger, fear, etc. I tell her when her words hurt. I have learned her delutions are her way of coping and real to her. This has been years in the making. I have had to reevaluate my goals, which at this point is just a kind exchange via text only to know she is alive. I pray everyday she will fight back against her demons. Only she can do that.
So many good responses. It helps me too.
