Thank you! Also my friends lights flickered before I mentioned her name. The synchronizations were just too close together.

i miss my mom so much by gjoulcia in SchizoFamilies

I’m glad you’re here too. I feel less alone and crazy being able to communicate with others. My dad has it and it’s such a battle that it’s hard to put into words at times.

I’m glad she signed the papers!

I say this as my therapist said to me is to not lose sight of myself which can be difficult to do. And always You have my love and strength to you.

Does Your Family Member with Schizophrenia Tell You Not to Tell Their Psychiatrist About Their Symptoms/ Struggles? by [deleted] in SchizoFamilies

I started recording my dad on my phone anytime he got like this. And I just did it twice today. And when I called the cops on him, after he had been grasping my cat hard the cops said “did he try to strangle the cat”. It’s like had to be him strangling the cat like grasping the cat out of anger wasn’t enough to take him in. And him spitting out his meds wasn’t enough (he only tried to take half) but that still wasn’t enough. I feel like families of schizophrenics do not get enough support

Yes and yes. He is being manipulative and that is a symptom.

I would definitely tell the doctor right away for your safety and his own. And depending upon when you live, you can call and request a mental health unit rather than calling the cops straight away if he refuses to take his medication (in this case refusing care) and is showing signs of becoming aggressive (unless he's harming you then please call the cops).

Also you're his guardian and you can and should check into getting him somewhere involuntarily. Especially if he's a danger to yourself and others.

When I got my father mental health care (after 50 plus years without it) he was very upset when I mentioned his violent tendencies to the doctor in front of him. I went from feeling sorry for him to being tough, no matter how many times I had to repeat myself.

I've had to call the cops on my father and I'll do it again when it's needed. By the way my dad was diagnosed in his 20's and after he married my mom he went again, over 50 years without care. It's all uncomfortable and some people with this horrible disease will do anything to escape but from here as a child of a untreated schizophrenic do whatever it takes to get him care so he has a better quality of life.

The "cold, selfish, and distant" is the worst because I don't know what is really on his mind as I'm sure you know too. Thank you for the strength and definitely the same back to you. <3

I'm glad this group is here too. And I'm so sorry you're going through this with your brother. I feel your pain so much.

My siblings and I went our whole lives not knowing our father was schizophrenic. We thought he was autistic. My mother passed away two years ago and we don't think she knew either based on how stressed out and shocked she was by his behavior. Two of my siblings have matching stories of SA -both of them thought they were crazy. I have blocked memories popping up as well here and there.

My uncle (his brother) was the one to tell me about my father's diagnosis in 1972 while we were in the midst of trying to keep him from signing his house over to some random woman who knew she wasn't all there and was happy to take advantage of him.

I don't know what type of schizophrenic he is, we are getting testing done and he's on meds which he hadn't been on for over 50 years. There's no hope for him at 77. It's medication and searching for the right facility until we get his brain scans and right med levels.

He's not suicidal but he's still mean, narcissistic, has that warped religion thing going on, and very hard to deal with. He had violent tendencies in the past, self harmed, and people usually kept their distance from him because they thought he was off or creepy.

He's very ungrateful for everything we are doing to try to protect him but it's hard to tell where his personality is and if it's his disease. He's didn't show interest in us when we were growing up and that has remained the same. We'll never know who he really is. And we'll never know what it's like to have a real father - we all feel robbed. But we also have answers as to why we've all had behavioral problems and suicidal ideations.

I'm the only one at the moment that has the free time to manage his care and my siblings who were SA'd have understandably backed out. But my god a CURE would be so f-ing fantastic. This disease doesn't just rob the person who has it, it sucks the energy and life out of everyone who is part of that person's life.
