Afterall, when you're six and watch your aunt lose it, alot, you decide to stay away from that lady. My dad though, has always been her advocate. Because of his dedication to her well being she was finally diagnosed correctly and given the "right" prescribed cocktail. After that, I was able to enjoy a relationship with her. Now my dad at the age of 81 is fighting another battle for her. She can no longer afford her meds and because my aunt lives a pretty independent life, without her meds the fear is that she'll disappear or hurt herself or god knows what. Your blog has given me a ton of resources that I in turn gave my dad (he doesn't do the computer thing).
