Do you say a lot of things you regret when you’re having an episode? Have they forgiven you for what you’ve said?
I was terrible to my parents when floridly psychotic. Just a nightmare.
Thankfully they completely have forgiven me and understand it was the illness.
When I get breakthrough symptoms I can be mean to them but they know it’s the illness.
Although they bite back sometimes when I’m not well.
Left my family behind when I turned 18, yes parents fed us and put a roof over my head, but that is about all I can think of that was good about it.
What parents do stick with you all your life, some things you never get out of your head

I’m never completely ashamed of what I’ve said about my mother, to her or the doctors who examine me. I only speak the truth. However; I do feel guilty about the degree in which I express and emphasize that truth, while being ignorant and not accepting of my mother’s struggles.
