Caring for a paranoid schizophrenic can't be anything but a down. I know that, mcl. I don't envy you your situation. Of course you have complicated feelings. And I don't think you should think that your brother could have avoided this if he had had the right T. I really don't think it works that way. When we're dealing with paranoid schizophrenics we ought (I think) just to be very glad we're not them, besides regretting the responsibility. Which is really quite regrettable itself, without any need for apologies or explanations.
