You can sit there and call me ignorant or backwards all you want. You can delete my posts because you are too sensitive to handle it.
But I stand by what I said. Caregivers get angry and need to vent, also.
Guess I lost my welcome to the family forums, well that’s fine, it’s time to move on.
You’re suspended from posting in this side of the community in the future. It’s between you and @SzAdmin whether you’re welcome over there. There was absolutely no need to denigrate schizophrenia sufferers in the manner you did. We can cause anguish to family and friends, this is true, but rarely with intent. That’s what separates us from you.
Adios.

It is very hard to find - I got announcements but it took a while to find this.
all of this is so confusing and disapointing. I am dealing with a really low blow my (diagnosed) son just received and how to help him (and me) get through this without despair. He has been very happy with a job and just got either fired for a reason - or really shafted: a month asked he asked for feedback and was told that all was well “You are exactly where you should be”. He may have also been outed - I think that it has happened before. I have a feeling he will never be able to work again because of this and I feel like the bottom has drifted out of the world. 20 years of helping him finish college, a Masters, getting a beginning job in a field he loves, and now I wish I had helped him accept the inevitable to and give up any hope while there was less to lose and while I could have spent the money saving for him. Is there anyone here?
I don’t know how to describe where the family forum is now…
But there are some of us still over there supporting each other and here for you.
When your post gets moved to the family section, I might write more. Just letting you know I believe you did the 100% right thing by supporting your son’s goals. Any person could lose their functioning at any time to accident or illness. Whenever I think about the money (and I have my own MI diagnoses that have messed up my life), well, it makes me wish I was rich. You were there for your son; that matters.
Family forum is right Here:
You can easily access it from the home page here on the left of the screen:

I have only had a date give up on me. I acknowledge that this is much worse. My plan is to navigate the world with care and find allies in other disabled folks. I want to effect change in the world. I plan on finding work through Vocational Rehabilitation. Take your son to their local office and they will help him get a job with open minded people.
Hi me time.
Thanks for your thoughts but I don’t take my son anywhere - he is a grown man and he can get a job. This wasn’t just a job. It was a step in a career he wanted very badly. I am praying he can rebound and keep going.
I hope so too. I will pray for him.
I don’t know where to find the forum on this site
I’m having trouble finding the family forum…
The link in the post directly above yours was too hard to click on ?!?!?
Here it is one more time.
The link to the Family Forum has been in the mod response each time we’ve re-directed you to the Family forum.
