That not one friend or family member has posted emailed updated me or shared findings
On schizophrenia.
I do it all the time on down syndrome and cystic fibrosis
Maybe they think I’m just lucky to get a disability check
Caught my brother saying Gawd it must be nice
Yeah it’s real nice to hallucinate Ronnie

That’s a really ignorant thing for your brother to say. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Ha yeah. Not sure if I should expect more
My sister is really competitive for attention. She hates that I have schizophrenia, not because it means I suffer, but because it means Mum pays me more attention.
Families are really hard work aren’t they?

Hey Daze, I’m having trouble at the moment trying to stop myself from texting my sister that I hate her.
Could you help me by telling me more about your family? How many brothers and sisters do you have?
Are your parents still together or are they divorced and remarried like mine?
I forget exactly where you are, I want to say Iowa, have you always lived there or have you moved around?
Divorced parents remarried half sister two adopted brother
I was telling you about my biological brother a year older
Well you know me
Say just what you feel and stand up for yourself
Sometimes you’ll be best friends the next day

take it as a joke, thats what i do,
i dont see any reason why people would say those things other than in jest, maybe i have a better overall picture of people than others do though, i like to think the best in them first, but if it is out of spite i would probably just try and say something like ‘i would rather be happy and work than be unhappy with sz and rely on benefits’ and that would probably shut them up,
if they persisted i’d be like ‘i’m trying, what more do you want from me’ it may not look like i am trying but i am, this is psychological warfare as well as physical debilitation, if you cant do it you cant do it but if you are trying then that means you haven’t given up i guess and i am still trying despite everything.

Hey Dave, you’re a good egg. Thanks for helping me.
I have two biological sisters, two step brothers and a step sister.
My Mum remarried my stepdad when I was seven, he has been in my life since I was three (my parents divorced when I was one) and I call him Dad because he has always been there as a father for me.
My Dad remarried when I was 17 or 18, it’s his wife where my step-siblings come from.

So this is a stepsister causing your grief?

I’m 35.
No it is my real sister that causes grief.
She has three children. The oldest is 24.
I think she is trying to delete me from the family and replace me with one or both of her daughters.
She doesn’t talk to her 16 year old son because he reacted the same way any 16 year old boy would react to her coming out as being gay.
She might not be the best parent but nobody wants to hear it
After all that sacrifice
Idk what to say
If you’re single no kids easy to brush you aside unfortunately
yes I think that’s it. It’s easy to dismiss a person who has no kids.
On the other hand my single aunt Karol
Was my second mother
We’re still tight

That’s nice! It’s good to have someone in the family to be close with.
We fight a lot in my family
Usually from me some reaction I guess
But we’re all real close
Is it workable with your sister
Yes, I have to see her when I travel up to see my Mum next week. Mum is hosting a family get together as a sort of mini Christmas so I can see everyone for Christmas because I’m staying in Melbourne this Christmas.
But at least there will be a lot of other people there to distract me. And my other sister will be there, and she is really good. So I guess it sort of evens out.
