[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 668490, member: 19245"] You are not wrong in anything. Not one thing. Yes, he should have canceled it. Maybe he thought they would ask him why. Would he feel embarrassed to say because there was going to be an earthquake? Yes, he needs to take charge. But, he is dragging you down with him. You are a wonderful mom. He even told you that he would never changed that if he had a chance. Yes, you have the perfect right to be mad. It seems such a basic request. You are even protecting him from your illness. I understand why. He could have a lot of reasonable fears and feeling of stigma attached to his illness and what caused it. He also holds very unrealistic fears of perceived disasters and conspiracies. You both are hurting so much. It is nobody's fault. The part that he can control is his fault. But people internalized and attach a lot of perceived stigma and fear to an illness. He is young and is facing something scary and unknown for even the most mentally healthy young adult. I know grown men who, when faced with a serious illness, prefer to pretend it is less serious and do not seek treatment. They are afraid of the truth. You are both victims and both hurting. [/QUOTE]
