What a great write here Abigail, this is more like it, great to definitely have you back. From my position I think when it comes to mental illness is blatantly A whole New World and something strange to people Uno not being able to process some of this unfamiliar behaviours that comes with mental Situation, maladjustment, is majorly the reason why people who go through it seem to lose it all. Especially when it comes to spouses, career and even family because basically the things surrounding them cannot handle the person they have basically become. In some other situations people hardly understand what they will do to help people who are going through it and through the process of trying to discover this they often do more harm than good that's why stigmatisation comes about. People fear what they don't feel familiar with. My mother had this issue and her whole world collapsed. I only wish and hope we'd discover other ways to do better for people with it.
It's great to have you back and kicking really, it's been like a decade
Ow @josediccus, how wonderful to see you here! 😊 ❤
Yes, yes, and yes :) It seems that all comes down to familiarity in the end. Because having a "technical" understanding of it does not seem to be enough to diminish people's reluctance. To have a family member with a mental illness is no easy feat. It requires extra strength from everyone. I hope your mom has managed to turn things around. I imagine you are a very kind, loving son. And I think love and understanding is the best way with which not only such circumstances, but any can be dealt with.
It is wonderful to be back writing for Steemit. Specially because I have people like you sharing their wisdom, and rich perspectives with me.
Thank you my dear.
I send you and your mom lots and lots of love.
Definitely amazing to have you back really and as for my mother, it's still same I mean she hasn't overcomed it really but I'm guessing she's getting there it's been like 15 years really and it was hard on us as young toddlers and we grew up to meet her this way, but we are coping and helping her get better really. Amazing stuff really from you, I miss everything. Glad you're back
Despite everything she has been through she is privileged for having you to help her to get better. May you and all your family be always able to find inner-strength and peace of mind :)
