growing up with mentally ill parent or sibling?

Question:

Jimi Hendrix wrote the song, "Manic Depression" about his mother, she stayed in bed alot.

Answers:
I'm not really sure what you're question is but I'm thinking that you are growing up within a mentally ill environment and questioning whether you have the capacity to endure the pressures associated with individual development when impacted by the responsibility of caring for others less capable. The main thing is that you stay focused on Who YOU are and what YOU are all about. The only situation that you will still have to live with many years from now is the situation of Yourself. Be Yourself because that is your life and the lives of others are simply that; the lives of others. You are a separate entity. Parents in general are only vehicles for the transition of a soul to a living being. Most children have absolutely nothing in common with their parents or siblings. Spread your wings and fly!

OK where is the queston?

Jimi was pretty depressed himself.

There are a lot of support groups out there.

I am the mentally ill one in my family... I am also the one most likly to write a song. There may be a correlation between these things.

If you're looking for support NAMI.org is a good place to go to. They also have a lot of information not only for those who are mentally ill but for their families too.
