Grownup children of parents with schizophrenic disorder/paranoia here?
Hey everyone,
I know that relatively few patients with schizophrenic disorders do actually have kids and live with them, but maybe i am not the only one?
My (F 48) father (m 78, born 1943) suffered from late onset schizophrenic disorder, starting around his late 30ies, when my sibling and I were around 5 and 9.
Lots of trauma rised from not only my father's disease and behaviour, but also from the boomer generation's way of pretty much faking perfection for the neighbours and having little to no knowledge about mental diseases in general.
So If anyone can relate, i would be glad If you want to share your story.
