I can remember so long ago that both of my parents were burdened with mental illness. They both at times became people I did not know. These experiences are more than fifty years ago, and I do not have the fancy clinical definitions for their specific conditions. I do still remember the experiences and have much empathy for you Kali and all care givers that are so brave and so loving. God bless you.
Thomas, thank you for this kind reply and for sharing a bit of your personal story. How frightening and confusing it must’ve been as a child to experience that.
Thank you for the generous shout-out, and thank you for educating us all on this topic. Caregiving is exhausting, regardless of whether the loved one getting care has delusions or not.
Oh, so good you write about things, Kali. It is important for others to understand that there are human beings in our midst who are not motivated by “normal” incentives, demands, consequences, and even, love.
Such a thoughtful, tender look at the challenges of caregiving. Thank you for sharing, Kali.
