Has anyone ever dealt with a schizophrenic parent before?

I will be following this thread, closely.

I'm confused...either you don't know who your father is, or he doesn't know who he is - or maybe it could be several dudes? Or maybe he just thinks he's several dudes?

I'm worried about my mom. And I'm being quite serious. Has anyone ever dealt with a schizophrenic parent before?

And I'm being quite serious.

So why post it on a smack board?

my mother-in-law is in the professional drug dealing business. I learn a lot about this trade just from the pens I pick up there.

Because I need an outlet right now. The combined experiences of this board, somebody has to have dealt with a parent who is deteriorating. It's like my grandmother's physical deterioration, but worse.

Now you're talkin'. Stick her finger in a wall socket, that'll straighten her out quicker than a blow from a flabsteak.

Does she live in an urban area? How many crackers get pulled over on her street?

Can do. We'll also get Fatso to throw in a medium-sized toaster oven with an extension cord. And some watermelon-scented bubble bath. The rest is up to you.

Yes.
Lots of crackers who can't handle the stupid shit end up getting on all kinds of meds. All those drug company commercials seem to work.

Soma can't be far behind.

Get her to a doctor that stops his car in black neighborhoods

IB, my apologies for giving you shit. I hope all works out with your mom. My dad got dead a few years ago, so I feel your pain.

If there was a guarantee it would work, I'd do it. What ST said about 'look at me' is right. A good measure of the fear is that I'm going to be just like her, because we are exactly the same; just as she feared she'd be like her mom, and told me the week of the funeral of my father's mother that she saw herself going down the same road my grandmother her mother did. I'd like to think that all she really needs is a group setting where there's always someone there and there's always someone she can talk to, and someone who can help her keep track of things, and help her budget, and provide a little shield from the religious scam artists (and the black churches, in Indianapolis, have devolved into a huge scam. I guess the same can be said for the white churches.. i don't know how many other hoosiers post here besides gunslinger, and how many are religious of those who do) who just see her as a tithe/payday but won't (can't) provide her anything when she needs assistance herself. It's bad out there, the religious mindgames the churches play to take money in the name of God.

She wants God in her life. Maybe God is listening. I don't like the answers God is giving, though. But I'm not there.

I talked to my sister just now, and she was told to we have to get together to get her into a hospital to get her evaluated. I'm just worried about the level of care we can afford for her... which is why I'm worried. I want her to be well. I don't want her to end up like my grandmother. It's Indianapolis. I really think -- I really want it to be true -- that all she really needs is interaction followed by a break from those churches.

You always try to help, when it comes to the medical, and presenting the resources, but that's what the State of Louisiana pays you for, right? Thank you. Time to copy and paste.

I feel like a dumbass. A lot of it is 'woe is me', but I don't want anything bad to happen to my mom. She's my mom.

I just ran out of vodka, and I started to daze off into your avatar... kinda the way TTB did with that tree.

I was just wondering... did you kill that dog because you're a cat person?

Yeah, but my other two nic's were banned for saying Notre Dame... is the "Fighting Ethnic Group". I thought it was a compliment.

Maybe you can sell about 14 of those windchimes and make enough to buy a half a pint of Smirnoff.
