Mom yelled, hit, punished even made my young sister eat her own vomit as Mom thought she threw up in her plate on purpose. Mom was not a drinker of druggie...she was promiscuous - after divorce - she was later diagnosed with schizophrenia - mid 40's, recently died. i had not spoken to her since 1998 - took two years therapy to get "OKAY" after childhood.
She was unreasonable and SCARY! When my grandmother asked me to take her to the mental hospital one night she looked at me, I felt danger....she told me SHE WAS the devil.... none of this devil talking to her...she was the evil one.
Will schizophrenia manifest itself in this way and how do you live with a quiet, lazy, disrepectful parent? We did love her - we were pused away too many times:>((
Please help me to understand - just learned form a sister out of state that Mom died without family in April - no obituary - no contact.....it's horrible AND one moe thing - she always seemed"evil" to me.hThanks so much.....

Schizophrenia can manifest in many ways, and appears differently in different families, personalities, and relationships. It also comes and goes, in seemingly unpredictable time periods.
Yes, SOME of this behavior may have been that disease... however, some of the things you describe may be just abuse... and some may be play acting.
I'm not trying to diminish your pain or the trouble that you've suffered, but there's a lot more going on here than just "Mom was a Schizophrenic."
Honey, you need to speak with a therapist. You still carry a lot of guilt and hurt and concern over this, and it's beyond our ability to do more than refer you to a good listener.
There are issues of responsibility, heredity, and processing grief that need to be dealt with here.
Good luck.
Let us know how it goes for you and your sister. %-) 8-|
