I know. There is just so much ignorance about mental illness. People are scared of us. They think we're all dangerous. Like I said, they want to blame us. Many of them I believe don't know what to do and the default position is then to do nothing. Because it has gotten so very much press over the years, addiction--at least in the States--is really very widely accepted as a thing people can recover from, even by regular lay people. Maybe someday, we can get to that place with mental illness, too. I'm not holding my breath.
