My abusive alcoholic father, made me a schizophrenic.
I’m not into revenge and violence. I forgive him.
He was sick, it was not his fault.
My younger brother is more active, and talks back when my father is wrong.
He stands up and speaks up.
I stay silent

As regards heredity, I have a cousin of my father who was schizophrenic. Also one sister of my grandpa told me about an old aunt that was crazy and was shouting while raising up her skirt. Lol
It’s hard knowing that outside influences triggered our disease but I like to focus on how to make life moving forward good. Deal with the past and focus on the future. That’s my plan. Also, take meds so I can do both.

My cousin is mildly ■■■■■■■■ and has severe paranoia and bipolar. She is in and out of jail constantly. Her mind is that of a child. She was living in a tent in the woods and is really cruel to her family. Her sister has a restraining order on her. I do feel concerned and bad for her though.
My mom I think once told me her great aunt or something could move objects with her mind. I bet she would deny or not remember that now.
Got a lot of alcoholism and depression and possibly bipolar in the family. My uncle attempted suicide once.

Om, i am afraid my dad was a real psycho… He never drank though, but he was beating my mom and my sister to death… I sometimes think, that i inherited some kind of psychopathy too in fact 
But my mom says he loved me, no matter that he couldnt show it… Idk, maybe there really are the genetics too in our illness 
… MY dad suffered from depressions and other stuff too …
Me too, i forgave lately… If he was ill too, some things can be understanded too…
I am sorry for your dad… You are a friend, lets try to stay strong now 
. On me, meds dont work very well, but i try with efforts now… Hugs dear!!!

He never talked to me, we never had a conversation, we never went out together, he never told me a good word, he was only swearing.
I really have never heard something good or positive by him.
Depression runs in my family. my mom and I are the only people I know who had schizophrenia. My parents were never abusive; my dad doesn’t ever talk about his father. I think his dad may have had issues too. Maybe alcohol. I never asked. I didn’t want to embarrass him. when my dad’s mom died everyone came to the funeral there was a church sermon. She was very loved.
When my grandpa died my dad was alone to set up the funeral and only a few people came. It was kind of painful for me. The whole family stopped talking to my grandpa a long time ago. One of my aunt’s disowned the family other than my dad. My dad who was the youngest got along with everyone, tried to keep the peace.
My mom loves my dad so much. But it’s hard because my mom has schizophrenia and at a certain point he just couldn’t take it and he moved out.
