When the loved one with SMI is your peer, your partner, there are some challenges that differ from parenting someone with serious mental illness. Support, Education and new mindsets  can help.

Guests: Jeff Zuckerman, author of Unglued: A Bipolar Love Story - https://www.jeffzuckerman.com/

 and Annie Jaeger, wellness coach and NAMI  Family Support Group facilitator - https://www.anniejaeger.com/

We ask:

1. What do you see as the differences between being married to someone with a serious mental illness compared to the parent of someone with a mental illness.

2. How have your children been affected by your spouse's mental illness, and how do you navigate your role as both spouse and partner in that regard?

3. How do you set boundaries (a whole podcast in itself, no doubt) for yourself without guilt or shame? (Which can be a discussion about self-care.)

4. Since you co-facilitate one of the few support groups for partners of those with a mental illness, tell us about the benefits of support groups.
