Don't think for a m...I feel your love, Judie. <br /><br />Don't think for a minute that Lawrence and I haven't considered long term institutionalization. The problem, thanks the the ACLU, is that no such place exists. Mentally ill people cannot be put away against their wills. All state run facilities have been closing down for more than three decades. They should have been cleaned up, not closed, but the hard fact is that they were closed and all the patients were dumped on the streets. (Spawning the rampant homeless population in the country.) <br /><br />Institutionalization against one's will does not exist. It is against the law! There are private long term facilities, and should be be able to afford one, we could not force P to stay there. He could leave any time he chose. It's the law. People with mental disabilities can choose for themselves, even though they are incapable of living independently and making rational decisions.<br /><br />Being crazy is not a crime. No person with mental illness belongs in jail. They should be in state run facilities that are focused on treatment, not punishment. No such institutions exist.<br /><br />What would you do? <br /><br />I send you my love,<br />cj cj Schlottmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217936774632262633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222851663641608850.post-74040307020406785402014-04-10T15:03:08.230-07:002014-04-10T15:03:08.230-07:00I know you don't want to hear this, but if you...I know you don't want to hear this, but if you ever want to have any kind of a life AT ALL, you and Lawrence need to SERIOUSLY think about having Parish institutionalized permanently. There cannot be a shred of joy in his life, and there is absolutely no reason for him to take you down with him. I know this sounds harsh, CJ, but you know in your heart he will never be better, ever. If he ever succeeded in one of his suicide attempts, you would feel horrible that it was on your watch. Better to have him someplace safe 24-7. If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't be saying this.Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222851663641608850.post-45189374965836540942014-04-10T09:25:27.002-07:002014-04-10T09:25:27.002-07:00No words have I.
