Question:

my husbands sister has that. I worry with my two children because my friend keeps saying I better wacth out. My sister in law has three children and her parent take care of them because her husband died using drugs. She never leave her parent, never work, never help taking care her own children.She had 1st baby when she was 16, she is 30 years old now. so over all she is a burden. Grandparent always busy w/ her children and don't have time for my children. Her mother (67 y/o) works harder to supply for the kids. Some times I don't want come to visit them, I am afraid she will be bad model for my kids. I know I am kind a too tough, maybe there is any solutions for me. Thanks anyway.

Answers:
Unfortunately Yes - it is hereditary. but there are wonderful medications out there and the person can live a full life as long as they continue taking the meds on a daily basis.

Other Answers:
Yes. Is she really scizophrenic or did she participate in the drug use with her husband ? Drugs and alcohol are capable of causing permanent brain damage also. It sounds like she's suffering form a deep depression.
