[QUOTE="newstart, post: 758652, member: 22416"] Hi Susiestar, I am so sorry you and your mother had to go through so much with your brother. I have gone to therapy for many years, starting when I was abused by my bipolar in laws back in the 80s. I went to the library and read all I could on how to help others and myself. I have been to some horrible therapists and counselors and some good ones too. My prayer partner and I pray about our troubles and it helps. I have spent to much time and money seeking paid counsel. This support site is wonderful. Many therapists have never had a disordered child and do not know what they are talking about. Reading about it and living it are so different. I have a dear friend that is a psychologist, his only son died by suicide. He is grieved to the max and having people give him a hard time because of his profession and that he could not even help his own son. This is so unfair to him. I know talk therapy is good, having someone that gives a genuine 'S' is good. A good cry is helpful. And what I think may speak volumes is my silence to my daughter. My silence will be the loudest thing she hears. I will answer her if she asks me a question, I will not give her the silent treatment, I will just not ask her questions or tell her things next time I see her. I don't think anything I say or do will make a difference, I just know not being around her will help balance me. Such a waste of time.. Here we are a small planet floating in the universe, time is moving at a record speed and my daughter, my one surviving child treats me like I am garbage under her feet. Such shame, such a waste and so sad. [/QUOTE]
