My relationship with the mental health people and the institutions is; them, or the streets or jail. That is how it seemed to me.

I recognize that modern medicine is kinder than the Church would be, in regards to treating the mentally ill.

Still, the English language is inadaquete for describing how it feels to be labeled, shunned then humiliated. I forgive, but I can't forget.

I appreciate your efforts, they ARE making a difference and you deserve divine Love as a result, if I had my way in that area. I, unfortunately, have, seemingly zero connections, there. Someone once told me, "The tragedy is, there is no tragedy."

This was my experience.

I improved my life, but many are still "there"

I can't forget them.

I will never forget them.
