i am having trouble remembering how long its been since i've seen her in person. or heard her voice. it occurred to me that i have to stop and think about how old she is now, and even harder to remember details about her. i have not heard from her in months, and the sound is stifling.
and always, the thought lingers, "when will the other shoe drop?"
this quiet cannot, and will not, go on forever.
I stumbled upon your page and was very glad to find you. I too am the child of a father with mental illness. (Schizophrenia) He recently passed away. I haven't had any conversations with people who are honest and up front about being a child of someone with a major mental illness. I am blogging about my experiences, as well as my father's journal entries if you are interested. I would be curious if you find similarity in our experiences?
