"It's always difficult when a parent dies, and there's no simple solution for the complicated, emotionally charged situations that follow. My condolences for your loss.

What those people need instead of that classic bashing mental illness by reducing schizophrenia to something casual is something like a doll or stuffed animal to vent to.

It’s only schizophrenia if there’s no totem. Otherwise it’s just sparkling religion.
