Sure isn't my biological family. I would imagine that if I were hospitalized for anything (related to mental health that is), they'd just say, "For our mental health we can't have you here." And they'd simply walk away, forgetting about me and say to themselves, "He made his choices." This is the way of thinking that these people have, and for them it works, since others don't really matter in the equation. To them, others aren't individuals to be loved or cherished but merely people to be placed into categories of "okay" or "not okay". And being family has nothing to do with where you're placed. If you're "not okay", you're still "not okay" and this is the same whether you're family or not. This is the philosophy that has been drummed into me through my entire life.
