I know about the strict rules, and whole I know the abuses they are
meant to avoid, they are often not what is needed. One of Peter's
nieces now in her 50s has a bipolor disorder, and periodically goes
off her meds, and does risky things which the family would like to
get help for. When she is hospitalized, things always improve--till
she gets out and stops the meds again. One of her sisters bears the
same kind of responsibility you do.....Sigh
SNIPPED

We do care about this, and about you, and her family. Stay connected.....
