Children of Mentally Ill Parents Support Group 3 months agoI found this group, through this website earlier today; I thought I would join. I am 30 years old.

Children of Mentally Ill Parents Support Group 4 months, 1 week agoHi guys. Im writing this at 2.30am after spending some time trying to figure out how to get in

Anyone know about the effects of a mother with schizotypal personality disorder on her children?

Hii Elaina. I guess it would depend on what else was going on in that childs life ei. What other support was available. What was there to provide stability? How much did the parent embrace that child ei. Draw them in to their pathology on one hand but perhaps provide a secure attachment stle on the other. I was luck that my mother rejected me in…[Read more]
