If I recall in previous research, estrangement is more common with those with mental illness. Will continue to seek information to better help and support. I have thought about reaching out to the mother to see if she know anything, she will not share any info with my friend, if she does know anything. As I mentioned, this situation is just so heart breaking and to see my friend suffering so much and missing his daughter is difficult to watch. It is definitely taking a toll on him something needs to change.
Really appreciate all the kind words and support.
You're very involved in this situation and are doing an awful lot of work on this man's behalf. Just an observation, not a judgement. Is your friend also doing this kind of work, or just you? My hope is that this is something you are doing together, and not by yourself. Are you more than just a friend to this man? Sorry if I am being too nosey! Just curious.
