Mothers, when your 18 year old son is diagnosed with schizophrenia

Stop being a control freak.
Suggest him working on a farm, or in landscaping.
Get a new family pet, and let your son live with you.
Realize he will sleep. a lot.
Make it his responsiblity to take his meds and get to doc appts.
he is not a broken person, he is carrying this like a soldier. Respect!
Don't start correcting him, blaming him, and being like you're the total normal person. Take inventory of yourself!
Be an example of what you hope he will be, but realize, he may not.
Let him make mistakes.
Take the good with the bad, and remember, he may not see the future.

closed my bank debit card

 will go into the bank for cash, and I just ordered checks, the ones with carbon paper underneath each  and I'm not getting a pre-paid card for stores.  just cash. Won't be buying Anything online.  wanted to do more in person anyway. $39.55 and $39.99 fraudulent charges showing up on online banking I'll have to absorb these. I think I'm safe.

I'm just hearing how great Women's Health Services are in Clinton, Iowa.

 Did not do proper care for me while pregnant, didn't find out I was carrying two babies til a doctor came from Iowa City, two weeks before delivery. Went back recently to get a pap, and the doctor there couldn't get it, took up to 4 speculums. I told them everything, I'm going thru menopause, no offer of estrogen, or any kind of pill, told her I'm having pain from fibroid cysts in my uterus.  Nothing, ignored. This place should be shut down!!
