Welcome to our forums ecotime47

I just felt a need for a personal comment on the bit I quoted from your post.

In this community, and our other one, PsychCentral, we have the majority of members or their loved ones who are not "healthy" in some form or another....but yet have family and friends who care and have close relationships with them. I don't think being "healthy" is a necessary prerequisite for a relationship with family or friends...rather that there is understanding and care that overrides the health issues....and indeed is often instrumental in aiding the healing process!

Obviously the desire is to be healthy....but how sad it would be if we broke off relationships with our family and friends who are not. Come to think of it, most people are unhealthy to a greater or lesser degree...but thankfully relationships are still strong for many.



Back to Sofia's post.....I do hope things get better for you Sofia and especially in the realtionship with your children.
