He still blames me for the rift in our relationship and after all this time I cannot bridge that gap again.</p> The Role reversal with my father and I began at 15 when my parents divorced…his quick continuation in a downward spiral of mental illness and alcoholism have left him bitter and angry with no ounce of parent left in him.

He's most certainly not an overgrown boy, is most certainly my dad, and has grown through various traumas in his life, not been overcome by them - and there have been plenty of trauma's, from an immigrant father with bipolar, to being the poor barefoot 'wog' at school, and so on.</p> one I’m going to appreciate even more now!

But I thought I’d comment, to say two things:

#1: I’m sorry that your dad isn’t well, and the problems that it gives you and your family. While not exactly the same, I understand about the frustration.

#2: Completely differently, I enjoy your comment about crawling through the internet. Please do, it would be lovely to see you.

I know that this doesn't help but I am sorry and really do wish you well. I am only twenty four and my own dad's health isn't all that great and I'm just not ready to face that path I guess no one is but I wanted to let you know that I admire you. You seem to be handling your stress very well you know with a dog and a lazy ass friend. I just don't know if I would do as well as you. You seem to be a strong person and I admire you for that.</p> I’ve read your blog and it made me cry. I know that this doesn’t help but I am sorry and really do wish you well.

My husband was diagnosed schizaphrenic with major depression a little over a year into our marriage and 6 years into our relationship. He left me last year and we are now going through the stages of divorce. I'm extremely sad, but what I'm probably most sad about is that the person I fell in love with doesn't exist any more.</p> It’s rough losing someone to mental illness.
