My family's completely disowned me because of my manic/psychotic episode in '10. I've done my best to make amends, but they're all DONE with me. It's a daily struggle not to call/write/text them...I want their understanding and acceptance so much. BUT, they decided a long time ago, when I first started having problems at 15, that it was not their job to help me in any way. I HAVE to let them go.
