Hugs to all our friends here...distant but close
Kalama,
My heart goes out to you. My son is bipolar and has struggled with the same demons as your little brother. It is devastating, terrifying and completely heartbreaking. I am so glad that your brother was not successful. Hopefully, he will receive the help he needs to not feel so despondent.
My son is now stable on medication but the worry never leaves me. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts. You will do better when you see your brother doing better.
Many hugs to you,
Elise
