We, as parents/grandparents, can sometimes reach a point of hopelessness in our role as caregivers to a child/grandchild who experiences a mental illness. The inability to manage/control a situation that seems to be escalating eats at the hope we have for the future of these children. My latest blog, Hope for the Hopeless addresses this issue. You can read it at www.godplacedherinmypath.wordpress.com

Tell us how you have battled hopelessness and what you have done to overcome it.
