How can we support children who are primary caregivers of their epileptic parent(s)?

I have researched the internet extensively and find next to no literature regarding the short or long term effects on children who are primary caretakers of their epileptic parent. The resources for parents who have epileptic children seems endless, however, to me the need for reverse knowledge if far greater.

check into a program "NAMI Family to Family" education.

www.nami.org

if you call NAMI they may be able to connect you with resources in your area.
Also check the local Hospital for resources and Call around some doctors that specialize treating epileptic patients and get referrals... call a number of Dr. Offices and you should eventually find someone who can give you leads Also, ck out some support groups for epileptics or 'Adult Children' and find out how they cope. I truly believe NAMI will have the answers your looking for. Best wishes.
