>I see what you mean; I couldn't find as much as I would have expected. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much for the loved ones of the ill. You didn't say if it was depression, but anyway maybe there will be something good that you haven't found yet, in one of these lists...
From the Open Directory Project (dmoz.org, a directory similar to Yahoo)...
list of 'support' web sites for...
caregivers:
http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Support_Groups/Caregivers/
depression (some are for family of the depressed):
http://www.dmoz.org/Health/Mental_Health/Disorders/Depression/Support_Groups/
more:
http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Support_Groups/Relationships/
http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Support_Groups/Parents/Also I searched the Usenet newsgroups and found one that may be relevant: soc.support.depression.family
(if you haven't used usenet before, read a little about it and check your web browser - Internet Explorer and Netscape Communicator include newsreader programs. Or you can access usenet newsgroups via a web site such as www.deja.com. Be warned that it isn't moderated, so jerks, idiots and other unpleasantness tends to be a bit more common than on most web-based discussion forums such as this one.)
