I've been struggling with Schizoaffective Disorder for a couple years now and lately it's been getting a lot better. My delusions have almost completely abated (still a little paranoid sometimes but I can reason with myself).
I tried to tell my mother that I'm getting a lot better and will probably be able to go about my life like a normal person. And she didn't even look at me. She didn't even acknowledge the good news. I know she heard me because we were just talking about something a second before. I hate her so much. She just sat there with a scowl on her face like she didn't even want to hear it. I'm so sick of her hurting me like this. She's my own mother! But I have to go to someone else's mother to get any kind of compassion for my struggle. For when I'm upset and freaking out I can't even go to my own mother. I don't know why I keep expecting her to care. |

It is good to know you are better, volatile. I wish you well.

Hi V, I think it's natural to expect your mother to care. Sometimes it's those closest to us that hurt us the most and vice versa. Such a pity, BUT I'm glad you are improving. Whether or not she acknowledges it, you should celebrate it. Hopefully as she sees you improving some more, she'll come around. Treat yourself to something nice, you've done well.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
