I don’t have a family member with it, but took turns with other church members helping to look after a young lady who suffered from it. Her family disowned her when she became ill. The way we treat the mentally ill in this country is shocking. So sad this poor lady ended up in that river.
Amen, CatHerd. Amen.
Disowning a family member with schizophrenia is no different than throwing a retarded or crippled sibling out into the snow. No different.
At least if somebody is in a wheelchair, they get sympathy. Our mentally ill, in too many cases, get only ridicule and rejection. As if they asked God for their affliction.
News flash: They did not.
