Good points. I see how it applies to situations when you are in a relationship with someone with mental illness. In Alissa’s situation I’d not be researching anything. She only knows what he tells her or what she can get from his abusive messages. It seems like he was always just fine until one day he told her he was diagnosed and then he abruptly started acting bad. It might be wise to travel there and see for yourself what he is really up to.
