My father is a paranoid schizophrenic and the worst things I experienced were embarassment (when he would freak out thinking that the old lady walking down the street was a government agent trying to kill him), frustration (trying to convince him that his fears were irrational), shame (when he couldn't hold a job), fear (wondering if I'd turn out like him) and anger (mad that such a wonderful, sweet, faith-filled man had to deal with this horrendous mental disorder).
