We all have our path. My Mom was crazy as hell and refused treatment until we made her as a last resort a few years ago. My sister and I have inherited her genes, and bad mental health genes from our Dad's side too. What you are is what my Mom was never capable of when my illness appeared, LOVING. You still love your child. My Mom could not do that. When I asked for help for my severe OCD and depression at 17 I became my illness in her eyes, I was no longer her honor student, I was sickness walking. You love your son, you are a good Mom. My Mom wasn't capable of that because she was so caught up in her own fear of someone figuring out that the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. And as sick as she was, that was probably all she could do.

You have love, you are a good Mom!!!!!
