本研究的目的是描述患有各种形式的长期精神疾病的成年子女的父亲的日常生活经历。10位父亲接受了采访。内容分析揭示了一个主题：保持强大的门面，同时保持平衡的细线，和两个副主题：（1）不断的斗争和（2）无力感。父亲们表现出极大的参与和良好的意愿，参与他们孩子的生活。一种没有或不被允许行动自由的无力感和沮丧感出现了。儿童、父母、照料服务提供者和当局之间的合作可提高父母向儿童提供适当支助的能力，并帮助他们理解和处理难以理解的问题。
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 facade 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.
