My father was a first amendment attorney and my mother was a schizophrenic. I have never met anyone else in life who had this pairing lol

Congratulations
Since reading the fourth turning, I've been thinking so much more about how my being shaped by my parents depended so much on the context and by who they were shaped.
You turned out ok.

The one by both āThe Fourth Turning: An American Prophecyā. Itās so much deeper than how itās memeād in the twitter-verse, very interesting read

I havenāt seen any memes about it, I must be out of the loop haha, but I look forward to reading it. Per your post above, it sounds like itās about each generationās culture shaping the next generationās way of life, is that about right? Iām sure thereās way more to it.
Ya I mean a generation raised in context A by parental method X will generate a context B and raise their children in method Y and which explains the different ways different generations respond differently to different context and in which we see swings between collectivism and individualism. It's neat.

You were born to rule š¤
The odds were stacked in your favour ā¤ļø
This explains a lot š¤š¤£
I know nothing about your mother's case, but I can say that some number of schizophrenia diagnoses are false diagnoses.
In the 1970s, one genius was proposing that some schizophrenia diagnoses were really spiritual awakenings.
That genius was on the radar of both Mossad and US military intelligence.
He was on Mossad's radar because he invented the first rocket used by the Israelis in their war for independence in the 1940s.
He died in American Airlines flight 191 in 1979.
4 years later his work was cited in what was, at that time, military, classified, paranormal espionage research dozens of times.
As I told nostr:npub1hghnjjpnvkz8t6gkszuf37d7puwc2qtxc65rnklqsngzv6kkug9qhhfyz2 on episode 562 of Once Bitten, there is a cavalry of dormant saints who are drugged up and locked down inside of mental institutions.
Trust me my mother was fully nuts. She was not misdiagnosed.
Well, you're not alone and I'm sorry you had to contend with that growing up.
I wouldn't say my mom was fully nuts but she definitely has some kind of psychosis. I'm not a shrink so I don't know what the right shrink words are for it, but I've been able to track the psychosis multiple generations back to the death of my great grandmother during my grandmother's most formative childhood years.
Basically, after 2 generations worth of domino effects from that death, my mother was molded into a control freak who constantly needed to assert the validity of her perspective.
Freedom of speech and madness, sounds like the foundation of truth in this world š„š§”

Iām close, Dad was an attorney, but Iād say my mom is more hillbilly with a very short fuse. š
