My dear brother has been dx w schizophrenia. There are times when he is fine - seems well grounded, and there are times when he is angry, threatening violence, fantasizing, and frightening. Is that to be expected? I have a sister who says since he promised not to do this again, we are done w this behavior. I have another brother who says he cannot ever control this. Another sister says he's just manipulating us. My heart goes out to my brother. I know he didnt choose this, but since he has beaten me up in the past (not severely) in a sudden out- burst of violence, I'm kind of scared of him still. What do you think?
