[quote=Anonymous]I am visiting a close relative and personally feel that her family is heading towards total destruction. They have a 25 yr old child with serious anxiety who has seldom left the house in the last 6 yrs. Her husband had a serious of affairs and is now living with a mistress who is almost the same age as the child. My relative is a stay-at-home-mom to care for the child but now has developed psychotic problems with schizophrenia symptoms.

You may ask why don't they get a divorce? The short answer is that both my relative and her child depend on the husband for financial support. Their problem is compounded by the fact that her child hates his father and that my relative does not realize she has schizophrenia and depends on other people to feed her medicine.

I love my relative and her child and try to help her, but because of the schizophrenia she does not trust me (or anyone who tries to help her) very much. The kid is very much spoiled and has the emotion maturity of a 10 years old and will unlikely to help her. I just don't see how my relative and the child will survive.

Can someone give me advice? share a similar experience?
