19. the trailer idea sounds really good.

The trick is going to be creating just the right amount of distance, I suspect.

Meds are a huge issue, I know. The newer meds have much less side effects and more patients are willing to take them, but it's still a big problem, as you well know.

The picture for psychiatric patients is indeed bleak. We still treat mental illness entirely different than we treat other illnesses. No wristbands, marches or cute little ribbon pins. Access to care is abysmal. Community resources are generally non-existent.

You have earned your place in heaven, should there be such a place.

Please check out NAMI. If you have not seen it, the book "Surviving Schizophrenia" is a tremendous resource for family members.

And keep loving your brother. He may show it differently, but I bet he loves you right back.
