Said he feel more counftroble with his friends.And it is normal that they feel distant. Hope all goes well for your family because Im finding out now we have a long road to travel with them.The love,compasson and great family support is what is needed most with any perosn that has schezophernia. Sure hope this helps some I am now learning more about my sons illness.
