My kids are 25 and 31. I can go weeks without fear and then it sets in. The anxiety of not knowing if they are safe from hour to hour is enough to shut me down for days. I can't believe I was well the days before or I can possibly be well days following. I know I won't make it. I do but I fear ruining the good life I'm creating while crashing. Parents ideas to cope?

Oh god, I know this one so well....only last night one of my 15 yr old daughters was threatened and told she is going to get jumped at sch tomorrow...I feel so powerless I asked if she wants me to ring the sch and she said not unless they carry out the threat...i've tried to stay strong on the outside for her but think my old experiences as a child are getting all caught up and I'm projecting things that haven't happened yet...I am so with you on this and wish I had an answer...

Thanks for replying - this is my first forum. The suggestion of staying strong or at least projecting strength is an important one to focus on. We don't have the "right" to crumble on them. Thank you. Best wishes to your daughter tomorrow and to you for all the days ahead
