Best Answer

With caring, kindness, understanding and empathy. They didn't ask to be with this but they do need you, help and guidance. If you find you get frustrated or upset when around them at any time just make sure they are in a safe position or way and then leave for a bit to cool down then go back to them. Seek help within the community as their are sources that offer in home help to help relieve pressure for a bit from family/relatives that are caring for them.

Could a father get custody of his child if there is a history of mental illness in his family?

Yes. The custody of a child is determined by the best interest of the child. If the court determines that the father is better for the child, he can get custody. Mental illness in his family would probably not even be relevant unless he has mental illness, or if a mentally ill relative lived with him.
