My son retreats from people who might help him when in difficulty. But he seems to draw in people who make the situation worse. I think these hangers on show up because my son is on disability so he has a bit of money coming in. It's to their advantage to encourage his psychosis and confusion, because he's easier to manipulate that way. Like parasites, they attach themselves and bleed him dry. Then when there's only a husk left, they scurry back into whatever hole they crawled out of, leaving the people who genuinely care to clean up the mess. I do hope there's a special place in hell for these leeches.
