A while ago still bugs me. I don’t know why but the topic of my sza came up and he said “it makes me feel like I shouldn’t have had kids”. His mother has sz. Idk I just am really bothered by his comment, but I don’t think he meant to be mean.

IDK. He probably knew it could be taken the wrong way but he said it anyways.
He probably expected that you would know he wasn’t trying to be mean.

He’s human and didn’t handle it perfectly. I’m guessing he means he’s sorry to have caused, through the family line, his own child to suffer.

I think, and a lot of doctors do, that a lot of schizophrenia problems are environmental. I don’t think making patients physically disabled is going to improve their brain chemistry. A lot of treatments still seem to be in the dark ages. I think patient progress should be documented, so people aren’t allowed to make people severely disabled.
That’s rough. But maybe he knows how hard it is to have schizophrenia. I sometimes wish I wasn’t born but I can’t control that. That’s a pretty rough thing to say. Cause even though you have sz you are still a person and have plenty to offer.

Sounds to me like he means he didn’t want to put someone through suffering

I can think of a lot reasons why he might say that. He could feel personally responsible for your suffering. Maybe he feels like he’s failed somewhat as a parent and is trying to understand why. Maybe he feels helpless that he can’t fix it. That’s a crappy feeling.
Or maybe some other reason. You can always ask him if you think it would help.
