Yes, thank you. I am a strong advocate of therapy/counseling. My family members are not. They are very isolated, antisocial and not fond of "outsiders" opinions. Even though i was raised in this environment, I rejected this attitude. My parents are blinded with denial, they would rather through others under the buss than themselves. I tried several times to get my brother mental health help- as he needed it. He refused with many four letter words. My parents enabled him to feel the world was nuts - not him.
I do have a great therapist, who is helping with my anger towards the people who refused to see my brothers problems and actually helped him stay in the same mode. Also great sadness, as I do feel with the right support system around him he would still be alive.
A great lesson for all parents who feel making your childs life to easy, cushy and not expecting them to grow up is OK.
