hello, im 17 and my father is schizophrenic. and i love him to death he is my hero my best friend my rock and my heart and without him i might not be here today. i feel so bad for my dad because in his word "ive got to take medicine everyday to be what society considers normal" and it hurts me to watch him hurt another thing that worries him to death is the chance that my little brother or i might develop it sooner or later.......i remind him everyday that i love and need him and that hes as normal as i am.......i try so hard to be a big part of his life like being involved in his classes and things like that and reading every ounce of information i can so that i may be a little better "psychoeducated" because the last thing i want is for my dad to feel hopeless and have some type of with draw since he was a self medicator.........my father has always been my rock when i needed him.... no questions asked.....now its my turn to do the same, i dont know what my point is to all this i know other people have it harder than i do with their friends and family but i know how hard it is to have a good support team so if anyone just wants to talk about stuff or anything message me and ill be there for you.
