Are the voices influencing her decision?
My mother is schitzophrenic, same with her mother, which means they hear & or see spirits... my grandmother greatly influences my mothers decisions. for the last 7 years she's defied her court order & refused me child support. th3eres no reason not too, she's getting disability cuz she's crazy, & so is her husband, they're also ( don't think this is suppopsed to happen) both getting wellfare cheqs, together the governement gives em about 16-17 thousand a year, my dad made 4000 fishin last year, & 2800 this year(he was supposed to get 5600 but he was ripped) & damadged his knee fishin, so he's out now, & they won't give him workers comp cuz their rates will go up... so when my mom makes so much more, & also lives off her mom, & i'm her son...
Do you think the spirits talking to my mom, my stepdad, & my grand mother when they don't take their meds influence their decisions on this? I know for a fact that my grandmother doesn't take hers, & my mom & stepdad somtimes forget or don't bother cuz they're too tired to get up, or when they visit us sometimes they forget them... oh, & my aunt is bipolar, which my mother also has, (their whole family is crazy, that's why i'm with my dad) judge said it's the girls in their family though, & i'm guy, so i'm safe
So do you think the spirits speaking to them influence their decisions?( if yopu don't believe in the supernatural, then It would be the voices that they hear)
Also, if you you please, you may answer this question as well

Any voices heard by schizophrenics come from their imaginations. They may well be influencing themselves by imagining external voices confirming their decisions.
Given the facts you raise, their decisions are consistent with their self-interest.
However, I would not rule out the influence of original sin.
