I'm glad to have found this forum. Both of my parents have mental illness, and I've recently made the difficult decision of relocating with my son, and leaving them to their madness. It is very difficult for me because I love my parents; however, it has reached the point in which I can't go on dealing with them. They are literally killing me. I have a chronic disease that is worsened by stress. I am almost to the point of being disabled, and very much need a break from the parents. I look forward to participating on this forum.
