Marnie, I gotta explain to my brother’s group home and program what is going on. They know the facts, but we have to develop a plan to help him deal with this roller coaster… I’ve explained to them that her lack of insight is not likely to improve… that continued/accelerating deterioration is all I can expect when she is evicted from the…[Read more]
