Im am the father of a 6 and 7 year old whose mom just tried killing her own grandmother because she was a vampire. She is currently undergoing evaluations in jail, and my daughter is having a terrible time with it. She doesnt believe me when i tell her her mom is sick because she says that her mom told her i lie to her to keep them apart. Her mom also told her she needs to pay attention to her dreams because they predict the future, and wouldnt you know it, she has dreams of dying. I have her in therapy as we speak. My question is, is there anyone out there who has an ill ex in jail for committing a crime thats a result of their sickness, and what can i expect the courts to rule on her sentence, and will i have to allow the kids to see her? the thought of her getting out in a couple years because shes on a pill that she can stop taking at any time, and me being forced to allow her with the kids scares me. i look forward to any responses. thanks

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
