    So they are just like pretty much everyone else?

    This will blow your mind but that is what the vast majority of family’s do with disabled family members.

        They don’t have anymore than any other family. You just hear about these.

        I don’t know any family that doesn’t have at least one person with mental health issues.

        Reality.

        You can bury your head in the sand and pretend mental illness is rare all you want.
