Dear SorryShaped, it's nice to meet you . I haven't posted in quite a while. I don't know what your situation is, but it sounds like you are not doing so well. I'm going to post another thread now about the reason I personally think mental illness is not a "popular" illness like cancer. In the movie, there was one short scene where the mother of the bipolar boy had just come home from the hospital after breast cancer surgery. Friends had brought over enough food for a week! She commented "Where was all this when..." her son was causing so many problems. I sent a long letter two years in a row to my large extended family about bipolar disorder. I said that it's genetic, and that they all needed to know the signs in case they had it, or if one of their kids had it or should come down with it. And you know what? Not ONE, one a SINGLE FAMILY MEMBER wrote back. But when my cousin had cancer, and was surviving for over 15 years with multiple surgeries, the family really pulled for him. Prayers; cards; discussions.
