My DD (late 20’s) left home 4-5yrs ago, was living overseas with her lovely DP. I don’t know the full Story but she met someone else, it was a disaster, she clearly was unwell, we got her home to find she was “receiving messages from aliens”, full on psychotic episode and was sectioned as she believed she needed to die to save the world. Terrifying stuff. That was 6 months ago.
She lives with me, has limited resources as she spent recklessly while ill overseas but has just managed to get a small job, I felt things were getting back on track. She has never been happy taking the meds but has done reluctantly, continues to believe that she is receiving transmissions, last night admitted she’d stopped taking them again.
I know it’s her decision, but I was gutted, had just begun to relax again and think we were making progress. I lost it I’m afraid, we’d been out for drinks with friends of mine, lovely evening, she was chatting away. Came home and she went back into her mysterious transmissions.
Has anyone gone through this with an adult child and come out the other side?
