I would speak with her doctors to get their opinion on this. You definitely need the advice of a professional. Talk with them and once you find out the possible behaviors she may engage in, you can make a decision as to whether or not you can handle her or want to handle having her at your house. My heart goes out to you. Yes, I have had contact with schizophrenics. They can be very difficult to deal with. They are definitely more than the average person can deal with. If I were you, I would have contact with her only at the institution. Should you decide not to have her in you home, don't feel guilty. Although the way she behaves is not her fault, it does not mean that you have the skills to handle her. Most people would not be able to.

If you fear her I would definatly suggest you visit her where she is.
Without going in to detail, I have delt with some heavy duity family issues. I understand that as a mother we want to always protect our children and we also sometimes at the expense to our own safety and well being.
Your child has a problem that you can't fix and it is definatly a risk to have her home alone with you.
I say let your gutt be your guide. If you choose to not let her come see you, it doesn't mean you are a bad mom. You are just doing what is best for both you and your daughter.

you are still her mother. so before the visit give her the rules just like u would any other child although she is 22 . make sure before she comes that she has properly taken her meds on a continual basis every thing should go fine .

You should let her visit you, but make sure that you take precautions for her unknown violent tendencies. It would be best to let her visit you though. She probably thinks about you all the time, and misses you.

Doesn't she take medication? If she is getting counselling and medication, plus if it is working, then let her visit you, or you visit her first and see first hand how she is doing. Discuss with her doctor if you should also.

If she takes her meds. as she is supposed to then she will be a loving person on her visit with you. my best freinds sister is the same way and you cant ask for anyone as nice as her "when she takes her meds. right".

You need to ask her doctor for his recommendation. If he thinks it's okay you could start with short visits and gradually extend them. Proceed with caution.
