Mental health issues
Someone who I really care about has mental health issues. They also take pot which isn't helping either. my fam and I all encourage them to seek help or to talk to us.
But they prefer to keep things bottled up.
They are blaming us for their mental health problems and they think we are all against them.
They are being a attention-seeker, they want us to fix their issues cause we caused it.
They've stopped engaging with us now.
It makes me feel sad like I've done something wrong.
We had a good upbringing
What can I do?

I think the best thing would be to give them some space, but offer them support and encouragement if they ask for (i.e. encourage them to seek professional mental health support).
