ok. so im sure that my friend's parent's have a reason for behaving the way they do. but hell. they dont half make things difficult.
my friend has been diagnosed schizophrenic. i believe this is wrong, but i cant really change his DX myself.
his parents are undeniably trying to force him into a certain path of life. they control any money he would get from EMA, (education maintenence allowance) which is HIS money. his father is also effectively taking his car, which he has to pay for.

his parents dislike me being his friend, and can only just tolerate his girlfriend and another of his best friends. i believe it is quite isolating for him. i believe they dislike me because i am female and she is aware (due to my stupidity) of my SI. i think she thinks im running some silly cult or something. and im going to harm my friend.

i believe also his younger brother is getting favouritised treatment. money being spent on him and stuff like that. this is unfair when my friend is made to pay for EVERYTHING he gets, and is being pressured into possibly leaving the 6th form and going straight into a job. this is NOT a good career move. i know this myself. im sure his parents should have realised this too taking the same route.

my question is how can i A. get his parents to accept me, and B. get his parents to loosed up on him, WITHOUT screwing everything up, and causing them to assume im interfereing little girl who doesnt know whats going on. truth of the matter is, i know more about this boy than his parents. and they dont like it. its incredibly irritating that parents sometimes assume that because you know or act like you know more than them, you are going to look on them as bad parents.

yick. if anyone has any advice, please help. im bashing my head against a brick wall here. if i was his mother everything could be done. but because i am simply a teenage girl, i cannot affect his life in any way.
its reeeeeallly worrying me now. because he is starting to consider suicide as an option. and that is not acceptable. yeh, call me selfish, i dont want my best mate to die. is that so bad?
