Article- Mother's Everyday Experience of Having an Adult Child Suffering from Long-Term Mental Illne

Okay, its just too bizarre to figure out how the link that clearly belongs to "Mother's Everyday Experience of having Adult Child Suffering from Long-Term Mental Illness" is opening the "Grief and Lost Potential...." article.

Trying this one more time. I am computer savvy, but this has truly stumped me.

Again karisma, thank you for posting these articles. It has been a lonely journey, lots of guilt, lots of anger and shame and hope. It was healing to read both articles, and to recognize myself there. Sorrow was a good word. The children feel sorrow too, for their parents, for the loss of what might have been.

Wow, excellent article. I see myself in many of those descriptive paragraphs. Wavering between hope and despair, giving up our dream for them as we imagined, phone terror, on call duty for dependence and security, becoming hardened and becoming stronger in order to accept son's life and live my life.
