[QUOTE="WearybutHopeful, post: 661511, member: 19313"] Hi everyone, Thank you for taking the time to respond. SoT, you are right. I don't understand the seriousness of psychosis. I guess I was just thinking about how badly his behavior affects me and the family. He does have a caseworker but no one has entertained the idea of finding housing for him. Maybe I could suggest that to my parents to look into. He makes enough money to pay rent if he works full time. The thing is, he doesn't behave the way he does with us in front of other people or in public. He is actually quite subdued. He is not on hard drugs (he smokes a lot of marijuana though) and he was not diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was admitted into the hospital. They performed a brain scan and they didn't find anything abnormal. However, I think he has a very, very warped view of the past, and I'm not sure how or when it all began. He actually has accused my father of abusing him, and my mother of molesting him. I lived in the same house my entire life (we are within a year in age) and I never once saw anything like that. He claims it happened when my mom would give him a bath and that I would never know because I wasn't "there" to witness it. He also says that old teachers and family friends would tell him they felt sorry for him having to be molested. How would they even be getting this information? When he was around 15, he joined a drug dealing gang. He would come home with bruises and burns on his body. To this day we aren't sure exactly what happened during his time with this gang. But maybe his thought disorders stem from that? He never talks about them. Only blames my parents for everything. He has even gone as far as to say he wants to kill my parents for the pain they caused him. I know that he won't do it now, but who knows how he'll feel in a few years? [/QUOTE]
