I battle schizophrenia. I have 3 children. My husband is very stable and we have our financial needs met. I am very proud of our children. It is a hard thing to raise a family. With support, a family with a schizophrenic parent can be successful and functional. Every family has it's days. It is a lie to say they don't. If you are not in psychosis, and or violent, it is a wonderful experience to raise children and be part of your own family. They understand you like no other. I am glad I have a family, and that my diagnosis did not disqualify me from this blessing. I hope the best for yall. Sincerely, Glinda
