Sir, I worked for many years in crisis center for severly mentally ill as mental health counselor and I can assure you that her illness has nothing to do with you. At present it would seem that she remains psychotic and has not responded to meds. Some people dont.It could take some time before you see some improvement.As she is so delusional, I would suggest that you keep children away. This is too difficult for them. Older children may benefit from counseling to come to terms with mothers illness. ou and your family should look into support groups offered by hospital or mental health agencies. it would help for you to talk to others who have family members with same illness. Again, i cannot stress enough that you do not take what she is saying as personal. Her brain is not functioning correctly and her words,although may be harsh are simply a reflection of her illness and do not represent the woman she is to you. Take care of yourself and your children. Do not take her words to heart. Good luck .
