My mom, my daughter, my brother, my aunt Karol, my dad, my stepdad, etc

[Daze]

none of them ask me, or have asked me
how I’m doing with my schizophrenia.
this is why Medicare pays a therapist for us.
those pictures on Facebook from NAMI,
schizophrenic young woman in the middle,
appears to be mother and sister on sides of her,
each with their arm around her.
it’s just not reality.

Same here, neither my mother nor father have ever spoken to me about my diagnosis or asked me how I am doing. On the other hand, my sister allowed me to live with them for three years and she has recently completed her Certificate 4 in mental health studies and is currently working in the mental health sector.

At least I have my sister.
