Schizoaffective Stories

This story is based on real events. This is written from the perspective of a child living with a parent, diagnosed with a severe mental illness. It is a coming of age story about addiction, mental illness, abuse, healing, family, and forgiveness. It shows the viewpoint of a child getting caught in the chaos, pain, and confusion of mental illness. Writing this was cathartic and painful. It forced me to confront feelings, accept harsh truths, and grieve the reality of the losses experienced. It also helped me to appreciate the gifts that the past provided and helped me to gain deeper compassion for my mother and her illness. I got to know myself and my family very well in reflecting on my life. In the 23 years since I left home, I have confronted my feelings about my mother's schizoaffective diagnosis and accepted the experiences of my unusual childhood. The complexity, shame, loss, anger, and difficulty of living with mental illness is not easy, especially for children. It has taken time and reflection for me to get to a place of freedom. Showing my scars no longer feels frightening. I no longer need to hide my truth. This crazy, painful, tragic, and beautiful life - is a painting with a thousand strokes and varied colors that don't always match perfectly alongside each other. The painting that is my life is both beautiful and ugly, and this is my story.

This is a story about the soul destroying itself in its host. Moira Amari-Warden is from a clan of remarkable human beings assigned to fix any reality they are assigned to. Upon their awakening, they are honored with the name One-Like-Me (OLM).

In the year 2025, the story follows Moira Amari-Warden through her internal journey of self-hatred and her attempts to suffocate it by anchoring herself to her role in the reality. Doctor, philanthropist, mother. The story also follows her two children and husband, who struggle with being rich and black. Her husband, Eli battles his anger, self-awareness and alcoholism. Mhina, her desperate savior complex and Micah, his desire to hide from all of it. This story finally offers a coming of age for all characters as they battle to accept who they are. In the process, they manifest special gifts, skills and abilities due to their high functioning mental illnesses. At the dawn of a new technological age, this family's tale offers a harrowing look into the future of mental illness through an afro-futurist and magical realist lens.
