I am interested in finding a support group for children of schizophrenics. I saw that there were some links on the home page, but what I would really like to find is a group that talks about what it was like being raised by someone with this disease, so the focus is more on the past than on the challenges of dealing with a schizophrenic parent in the present as an adult. I guess I am trying to leaverage the experience of others, and to get ideas for dealing with the long term affects other than therapy which I have been doing for quite a while. I feel alone, and I know that I am not, but I don't want to but into a group that is focused on dealing with immediate issues related to assistance of a schizophrenic parent.
Could you tell us what state you're living in? I will try to research groups in your area. You could also log on to www.nami.org, or call their hotline at (800) 950-6264.
