I'm sorry you overheard that

As a parent of a mentally ill adult child I can honestly tell you that it is NOT because they don't love you. They DO love you or they wouldn't bother talking about it.

Having a child or any loved one with an illness is a burden true but, not one that we are unwilling to bear. As the parent I constantly beat myself up with doubt, guilt, and regret. Even though logically I know it's not my fault that my daughter is mentall ill, it still hurts, and I still need to talk about it.

Maybe if you feel strong enough you could try talking about it, talk to your parents about what you heard. It could even be a healing experience for all of you.
