Welcome! It can be truly difficult to have a mentally ill parent. Sometimes it seems as if no one understands the trouble you face because, in reality, most people you know will not have your experience. Most forums that deal with mental illness usually leave out the children of mentally ill demographic. However, this group often needs as much support as the sick person. It can become quite taxing always having to be so strong, but strength is the only way to survival. Please feel free to vent here and share your personal experiences with others who can actually empathize because they've been there, not just tell you how they sorry they are that this is happening to you. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who understands. You've come to the right place.
Now, a few guidelines to ensure that we all have the great experience here that we hoped. It should go without saying, but just in case!
The basic ground rules for posting to our board are simple: use common courtesy, common sense, common decency and don't break the law. We will strictly enforce the policies outlined both here, and we reserve the right to remove, modify or move posts at our discretion and without explanation. We also reserve the right to modify the rules and guidelines at our discretion as we deem necessary.
- Rudeness will not be tolerated, including harassing other members and/or posting inappropriate remarks, this includes remarks about religion, politics, race, ethnic background, and sexual preference.
- Do not SPAM our members in any manner. Doing so will result in your account being immediately locked. If any member receives such unsolicited contact, please inform an Administrator or Moderator immediately.
- We reserve the right to modify, delete, remove, edit threads, taglines and posts as necessary. If we feel a post, thread or tagline is offensive, rude, derogatory, or inappropriate, we will take action.
- Please maintain a welcoming attitude: we would like to be a close community, not a closed community~new members should enjoy being welcomed warmly and appreciate the opportunity to become valued, helpful, long-term participants.
- Remember we are not doctors here and cannot dispense medical advice. This is simply a place for people having similar life experiences to get together and support one another.
So yeah, let's all play nice.
