[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 757846, member: 22840"] Today is is my son's 26th birthday. He has anosognosia which means he doesn't believe he is mentally ill. So of course he does not get treatment for his Bipolar disorder. His delusion is that he's been traumatized by me his whole life and he has complex PTSD from it. According to him I am extremely damaged, I'm narcissistic, and have a slew of cluster B personality disorders too. He's been very busy psychoanalyzing me and trying to get me to see the error of my ways and go get help for myself. Then he believes I'll do something, I'm not sure what, to make amends and make his life right. I guess maybe take care of him and give him all I have for the rest of my life, sigh, I don't know. I can't have anything close to a normal conversation with him. As I understand it with someone with his condition you are not supposed to outright disagree with them but try to get a trusting relationship back with them so if and when they might decide to get help for themselves you are there for them. Problem I have is I've been at trying this for a couple of years now. I'm not the person who can do it because he see's me as the "issue". He's extremely verbally abusive with me, and even though I know where it's coming from it effects me every time and takes me out completely for a while too many times. I don't think I can do it anymore. As it stands he does not work, does not go to the doctors, has alienated himself from anyone close to him, has no friends. He still manages to live in the house he's been in for a couple of years now. I believe he's been able to stay there because he lives in the downstairs where no on else is and they stay away from him not knowing what to do about him. The adult in the house is obviously a huge enabler who knows he can't get my son out unless he has him evicted. I keep praying for someone who will have a good influence in his life to come around and sticks around. It's really sad. [/QUOTE]
