    I enjoyed reading your story. You went thru a lot that if you weren't involved with the Dubs you probably would have had a very different life. One you chose for yourself... ...Not dictated by others. Im happy you found happiness........................ My mother also was a schizophenic with massive deppression.Its very hard to grow up in a family with this type of mental illness.... especially so 20 years ago as they didn't have the understanding of today.... The children of a mentally ill person were not counselled or had any kind of therapy,, so you just muddled along best you could with no one to talk to..... So I understand how it could affect your wife,,, unfortunately,,, you tend to close yourself off from others...it seems easier to deal with that way...maybe that it a part of how your wife grew up and her difficulties in your relationship... and the dubs don't help......they were always telling my mom not to take meds...it could let the demons in her mind... she was also the sweetest and most faithful sister you could meet...she never harmed anyone but took her own life 20 years ago.............At least now you are free to make a new life on your terms...... Thanks for sharing your story......
