I'll admit that some of this is taken from personal experience: my aunt (by marriage) is a paranoid schizophrenic who's been in and out of psych wards for most of my life, and both my mother and brother were hospitalized for mental breaks at various points in my childhood. I think that sometimes being the support for someone struggling with mental illness can be more trying than dealing with the disorder itself because of the helplessness and confusion of not knowing what to do or what to expect.
Thanks again for reviewing this. ♥ It's really nice to hear that I pulled off something as sensitive as this.
