Hello mctag,
It may be hard to believe right now that someone can recover if they take their meds every day as prescribed. However, because of the nature of the crime I understand your reluctance to have your ex-wife see the kids. I wouldn't leave things to chance and I would see about getting a lawyer to prevent her from seeing the kids at least until she is more stable. At some point, if the ex-wife becomes stable, you may have to consider allowing her to see the kids. I am aware of other people who have committed crimes who have rehabilitated themselves and take their medication every day as prescribed and they have recovered to the point of no one suspecting they have SZ.
At this point, however, there is a safety issue involved so if you feel you have to lobby to keep the ex-wife away from the kids I would tell you to do what you must do. Because there is a safety issue. And also right now the ex-wife isn't in recovery.
Regards,
Christina

i will be going for full and total custody of my children. I will fight for her not to be a part of their lives at all. those with the illness and herself may say they can be rehabilitated, but thats not something i am willing to chance. I will have her suffer without her kids before i will put them in a possible dangerous situation.

Hello,
Yes, I agree you must do what you have to do now. The future could be a different story. When violence is involved, there's no waffling. I maintain my position that people can recover. It takes time, however, it can be done. Research studies prove this.
Respectfully,
Christina
