Mental illness is what my oldest has in spades sadly...schizophrenic tendencies,narcassistic and epilepsy...I hold out hope but she is not able or willing anymore to put in the work to get marginally better. She hangs on to her reality(delusions)with the strength of a dying person. She has had this since she was young but has fought against any change all her life. Her demons are her friends I think. I am gutted that I have to accept this.
