As a Daughter of a father with mental illness.
I do want to say I always felt bad for my mother that she doesnāt have a normal marriage.my aunts did once disclose to me between the linesā¦.that my fatherās parentās asked a certain rebbe and he said it was okay to disclose the illnessā¦I sometimes wonder where is this reebbe now when my mother is struggling. And we kids didnāt have it ez too at times. But bh we grew up healthy kidsā¦I always think must be someoneās teffillios. Were all at the point of getting married and were bh having nice families of our own. āThe one to pity is my momā (I sometimes look at her like a living almana)
(needless to say my father couldnāt keep a job downā¦and my mother needed to take over and is running a very busy shopā¦. with my fatherās family being pretty well to doā¦.I donāt remember last when they offered any help) at least that if your marring off such a goodā¦make things easier.
