The purpose of this study is to describe the everyday life experiences of fathers of adult children who have various forms of long-term mental illness. Ten fathers were interviewed. Content analysis revealed one main theme: Maintaining a strong façade while balancing on a thin line, and two sub-themes: (1) A constant struggle and (2) A feeling of powerlessness. The fathers demonstrated great engagement and good will to participate in their child's life. A sense of powerlessness and frustration at not having or being allowed freedom of action emerged. Cooperation between children, parents, the care service providers, and the authorities could increase the parents' abilities to provide adequate support to the child as well as helping them to understand and make the incomprehensible manageable.
本研究旨在描述患有各种形式长期精神疾病的成年子女的父亲的日常生活体验。采访了 10 位父亲。内容分析揭示了一个主要主题：在保持坚强外表的同时保持平衡，以及两个子主题：（1）持续的挣扎和（2）无能为力的感觉。父亲们表现出了极大的参与度和参与孩子生活的良好意愿。他们感到无能为力和沮丧，因为他们没有或不被允许自由行动。加强孩子、父母、护理服务提供者和当局之间的合作，可以提高父母为孩子提供足够支持的能力，帮助他们理解和应对不可理解的事情。
