My mother has a mental illness and it runs on her side of the family. She has good intentions, but fails to comprehend the damage she is doing. She needs help, but denies that she has a problem---jumps on the defensive and blames EVERY ONE else. I love her, but have exhausted every effort that I can think of. I am on parole, injured & unemployed, no lady friend that will tolerate her- nor friends, stuck between a rock and a hard place. A half way house is a one way ticket back to the slam---but am thinking about going back to get away---just like I did the first time. Schizophenia---both her parents had it, her older sister (the 1st child) has been in & out of mental institutions, my mom is the 2nd child, her other 3 brothers are fine. My oldest and only brother is autistic, and I probably am affected in some way---but I can admit my faults and take direction to correct. A crazy person doesn't know that they are crazy. Help!
