Love and mental illness

Loving someone with mental illness means tolerating the paradox of a person you know clearly who sometimes cannot see themselves clearly; it requires learning that their struggle isn't about your love's sufficiency. The stability you offer becomes real only when you stop trying to cure and start learning to witness.
