((((Everyone)))))

Thank you to each of you. Your responses made me cry.

I'm in a lot of pain. I'm not very good at putting words to feelings. Also, am not used to being "helped." I'm a trained "helper."

But, I do need your help. I'm suffering in silence. My brother suffers terribly still. He is 51 years old and lives in my dad's basement. He is untreated bipolar. I'm surprised he hasn't killed my dad. I always thought he would.

Thank you again for responding to me. I know you are all suffering too. It was very kind of you to reach out to me.
XOXO,
Okie
