Advice please. My ex-wife told me that she could not pickup or cuddle her first baby - a girl who very early on showed signs of what we now know is schizophrenia. She turned out to be a very unhappy fully-diagnosed schizophrenic. Early onset of schizophrenia is not unknown and I have heard that the first 6 months are crucial to development and not being held/cuddled/loved could have prompted the mental disease. The mother turned out to be a clinical paranoid. In those years all was blamed on bad parenting - and I was chosen to take all the blame. Would like to hear of any and all similar experiences, if any, as my life has been dogged by this.
