Lesson Overview

6.22 – Living With a Parent Who Has Mental Health Struggles: losing yourself in their emotional storms. Try to separate their illness from their identity so you can still see the person behind the pain. Some days, showing care might mean giving space, while other days it means listening quietly without judgment. Protecting your own mental balance through sleep, social connection, and honest conversations is critical. Remember, you can’t fix your parent, but you can shape how you respond. Stay aware of your own warning signs of stress, like irritability or isolation, and take action early. Building resilience in this kind of home teaches emotional intelligence few others understand. Love, patience, and healthy limits together can help you survive—and eventually thrive—even amid uncertainty.
