It IS a last resort. It's not manipulation, it's helping him because this way I can talk to his doctors if an emergency situation arises like it has. Why don't you look up NAMI and inform yourself about something called "the quality of life". I am improving his quality by not allowing him to sleep on the street, become sick or get rashes because he cannot clean himself at times, that I can be advocate for him when he cannot make such rational decisions. I'm not going to chain him up and tell him to dance on command. Clearly you have no idea of what guardianship consists of. I do not have to continue to share anymore examples with you but I will say I wholeheartedly disagree with your opinion and the fact that I care enough to do this instead of throwing my husband away like it has been suggested says a hell of a lot. I married him in sickness and in health for better and worse and I honor my husband's request to help him and to help him to be the best man he can be, so he has dignity.
