[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 753882, member: 18516"] Oh Feeling, I am so very sorry for what you are experiencing. My heart breaks for you and your sons. Please do not feel you are responsible for this. Sure, genetics can play a role but it's not always about genetics. There are many people who suffer from mental illness and there is no history of it in their family. Just like when I had cancer, there is no history of it in my family. It simply is what it is. I understand you questioning "why?" but there will never be an answer to this. I know you do not want your son to be homeless but you also cannot allow yourself to be a prisoner in your own home. This is taking a toll on your overall health. I ask that you do some forward thinking. What will happen when you can no longer take care of your son? What if you are the one who needs care? There will come a time when you will no longer be here. It's much better to find a solution for your son now rather than later. I agree with what the others have offered. There are many resources available to help. Mental illness for so many years was a taboo subject but in more recent the realness of it has come to light and there are so many more options available to people now than in the past. I would definitely start with NAMI. ((HUGS)) to you..................... [/QUOTE]
