Despite suicide attempts, family insists woman is ‘fine’
Dear Abby: I'm a 40-year-old woman, diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder after two suicide attempts. I have tried to get my parents and siblings to attend a session with me so they would understand my diagnosis, but all I hear is, "You don't need all those drugs. You're FINE – just a little different than the rest of us," and, "You have always been 'odd' and we like you that way."
