Well, fuck. My brother's back on meth and having delusions. He got kicked out of his apartment because of the drugs. He's in a hotel right now but I'm not sure if he'll get the help he needs. It's been a little over a year since he got out of jail. He's in Texas, where he was staying with the young man we helped raise and who considers Joe his dad. The poor guy is doing the right thing but my heart is breaking right now.
You know when you've dealt with severe mental illness for a long time that it's quiet periods punctuated by chaos, disaster, or grief. And you just pray that the quiet periods last a little longer than the other shit.

My sister just got her one year clean from meth (third times the charm) and alcohol. It's a struggle.
Her daughter is being released from treatment from severe eating disorder and self-harm. Not because she's better. I assume either she is showing no improvements after two months of residential treatment or insurance won't pay more. Either way, it's horrible.
I hope your brother is willing to get help soon. I know that despair.
Oh geez Cash. I remember prior stories about your brother. So sorry he’s back on the struggle.
Cash, I am sorry. May you all get a long quiet period soon. {{{}}}}
I'm so sorry, Cash and Cass. Being there for loved ones with severe mental health issues and addictions is in many ways more difficult than tackling them yourself. I hope they get the help they need to get back and stay on track. So painful.
I’m so sorry, Cash and Cass.
Cass, I hope she’s okay. We’ve danced that dance as well.
Joe did voluntarily commit himself today. That’s a huge relief.
Oh, that is a relief, Cash.
Cass, I'm sorry. Wishing the best here.
Best wishes for your brother, Cash.
