I can tell you that I stayed away from my mother (who had an untreated mental illness) because it was just so horribly painful to be around her. She (apparently) could not see her own illness and (apparently) could not control her abusive behavior towards me, so in order to save myself I stayed away. I am guessing there are all sorts of situations in families. Did you want to talk about your own situation? Many of us here will listen.

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