Hi everyone, I've been reading your post and I feel so encouraged as I never knew about such forums and I am so glad to have stumbled on this site. I am a 19 year old Londoner that lives with parents who both suffer from schizophrenia and it's so wonderful to read posts by those who suffer but also love the Lord and I am believing God for my family's salvation and deliverance. My mum is mostly stable, however last year she did act funny for a while and was admitted into hospital but here episodes are quite rare as the medicine keeps her. But my step dad is my worry, he's always been a tad strange but it seems to be getting worse as he receieves injections monthly I believe and towards the end of the month and just after he has received his new dose he begins to hear voices, swear and shout. He shouts at me and kicks the doors. I am particulary worried because he does not sleep and he has lost so much weight. He just sits in the darkness laughing or listening to hard core gangster rap music. Please join me in prayer as his behaviour scares me sometimes. Its his off period now, he shouted at me today, my mum tries her best to calm him down. I leave the house when he gets angry, do you think that's the best way to deal with it. How can I help him? We are not close but he is still my mum's husband. Thank you for your time. Shalom, Agape
