Wing how do you cope with your mental illness and the illnesses of your children?

We chose to eliminate any things that had major changes. For us this met public school. We can stop and deal with whatever. Sleep, no sleep becomes a non issue if he misses an event then its fine. I don't deal with the district for services or anything like that.
Our mental health team helps a lot. Each of them does a basic check in with how the other family members are doing. Even though our family lives away we were are able to set up supports. They have relieved a lot of tension teaching us when we as partners or parents have to step back and allow them to do what we hired them for.
