This is never talked about and even my CPN doesn't help when I ask for help.
Winstons wish is a charity for families battling cancer and includes a leaflet on explaining cancer and if a parent has a terminal illness. I've saved it, but it'd be helpful if there was the same help for families with a parent/loved one with a mental illness.
I'm fairly resigned to the fact this will kill me, having lost two very (very) close people to me to suicide. I love my children and I don't want them to think I didn't love them or that it was their fault- I want there to be some kind of family support when a parent has a possible fatal mental illness, after all suicide is a huge huge killer, one of the top reasons for death.
