I wish my family were like your dad.
After I needed treatment in a psychiatric unit, mine were dying for the doctors to find out that there was something wrong with ME and me only.
This meant that they were not responsible and could go on guilt free.
I have considered taking my hospital team to court because at 16 I should have been considered an adult and the doctors should not have spoken to Fred and my family without my permission. I felt kept in the dark. They asked if anyone else in family had mental health illness. My mum said that it must be my fathers side but then said there was actually a women on my mum's side who was very ill.
My grans mum died of a brain disease. I wonder if it was mental health related.
