My cousin was diagnosed as schizophrenic when she was younger. I've

not heard much about it since then- she'd try to jump out of moving

cars b/c voices told her too. She was totally raised by BPs- both of

them very abusive towards her. Now she has a lot of bp traits and

migraines.

In so far as what Carol's uncle stated, I'm sure it is a nice

validation, but I question totally the whole 'she was bad in

infancy' stuff that he said. Sounds like your nada was dubbed the

all bad child. I see that w/my dad's side of the family. Not sure

how I would take the validation. I know my uncle really validated me

a few years ago when my nutcase bp aunt went nazi on me. but he's

messed up too...I think he tries harder though to get out of the bp

mess.

Carol, ever thought of getting a restraining order against nada?

Absolutely spring-like here in Virginia; blossoms all over, 70 days.

Nada was the 'ideal' child actually, born on her father's birthday, 3 years

after the first three daughters (only children) died within one week of one

another of diphtheria; bullied each of her siblings as they came into the

family.

GrandNada was 'religious' and nonviolent to a 'fault', no

discipline/criticism but abundance of corrective talk and prayer. In nada's

'family role' as

'blessed gift-answer to all prayers child' she acted a

jealous-misplaced-princess-resenting her lower subjects/siblings, causing her

siblings to fear and

loath her; and got away with it ... well into her late teens. THEN nada's whole

world caved in on her in her teens...her youngest sister was born with birth

defects, and became the new blessed child. And you know the rest...
