Anyone else dealing with parents that have mental health problems?
My mother suffers from episodes of psychosis which last about a month and then she calms down for a while but it's been an annual thing for the last 3 years.
I'm just struggling to focus at work in the middle of busy season. All stories, perspectives, and advice are welcome.

Our dad is the main offender, often reminding us how little time we have left with him, asking us why we’re leaving so soon or reminding us about all the good deeds and sacrifices made. We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
