Has anybody run into big problems with some members of your family once they learn about your illness. My mother's parents evicted my parents and I from my home for over twenty years. Thankfully, we found a safe house to live in but we were evicted because of my schizophrenia (which I have had at least 14 years at the time, mostly unmedicated, so they had known me at my worst). How does one forgive someone who tore you from your safe place and just thrust you into the wild, with no care on what happens to you. Oh and while we were packing, he shot his gun around our yard all the time when he knows that anytime I hear a gunshot, I think it is going to come through the window to hurt me. He also would just hammer on my side of the house. It got so bad that I had panic attacks and would jump at every swing. So I guess what I am asking is how does one forgive another when just the sound of their voice or getting close to the area gives me crying fits and panic attacks?
 The sad thing is a part of me misses them...

Sounds like you will be better off out of that house. Are you still having problems like that now? Actually sounds like you out lived your welcome there anyway. You and your parents need to make a clean break from people like that for your own sanity. Now you have the opportunity to make a better and more settles life for yourselves. There are lots of services in every city, county and state to help people in your situation and they will even help you with your mental problems. Look for the good in this situation not the bad. You have a chance to make a change in your life for the good. Take care!

Yeah we owned the place for 19.5 years. Then, through things dealing with the president of the bank and my mom's father, he was able to take it secretly. It was really the only place I have ever known. The house we own now is alright but to in the town for my comfort. I did a clean break with them but felt bad so called to wish them a happy thanksgiving and they talked like nothing had happen. Like they didn't give that house away for free to their estranged daughter and her family. It sent me almost to the hospital. I figured now I need to cut them off completely but I used to be so close to my mother's mother. I am just really depressed about it.

I am so sorry you have had to go through this, it is so hard when family treat us so badly, it was realy awful what was done to you and being ill too its unforgivable, you sound like you are a better person and if they are willing to do this to you out of ignorance i think you are probably better off without them, it is hard losing family but if they are such a destructive pressence in your life i think you have to walk away

Thank you for your kind words. It really does suck losing family but I need to cut them out of my life. I have very little family left and now even less.
