My son has schizophrenia and was diagnosed at 26. He is now 42 and suffers with alcohol and pot addiction. He does take monthly [medicine] in exchange for me paying his rent. That’s been the best I can do. Although it is a financial challenge to pay two rents as I am a single mom, I know that he is a good man, and I love him. I’ve tried to surrender changing him. No matter what I do, he continues to drink, and with anosognosia, it only makes it harder. I am very concerned about what will happen when I am gone. My faith gives me strength.
