Interview Miguel Manalo- Growing Up with a Schizophrenic Mother Part 2

In part 2 Miguel and I talk about the following issues we dealt as we grew up with a schizophrenic mum:
* Painful, embarrassing and difficult experiences in public spaces.
* Difficulty in accepting our mother’s illness and fate. We would often ask ourselves why it had to be our mothers.
* The importance of teachers noticing drastic changes in behavior and performance in students and following up on cases.
* The importance of counseling and psycho education for children who have a mentally ill parent.
* How draining it is to deal with mentally ill parent’s episodes. It leaves the children depleted with no energy for school assignments.
* Guarding our family’s secret.
