Dr Amador has joined the Treatment Advocacy Center as a scientific officer.
Yes, I got notified by the Treatment Advocacy Center today in their announcement email. I think that is just great!
Thank you, Dr. Amador.
This is an aspect of my brother’s illness that I was unaware of until after he passed away. It actually never occurred to me that he was unaware of just how frightening, repulsive, and disgusting he was. It was inconceivable to me that he was unaware of just how deeply his actions hurt us; that he was unaware of how his horrible actions ruined our lives. I literally didn’t have a clue; I just thought he enjoyed hurting, frightening, and embarrassing us.
Of course there’s no help for caregivers. We are expected to be superhuman and all knowing. We’re kept in the dark so we’re continually blindsided, confused, left hung out to dry; because we’re expected to magically know better.
Superhuman, indeed. Thank goodness for this board, because it is one of the only places where you can vent and rage and we all get it. The podcast will also be helpful in this regard.
