Madonna/Whore Complex (part 7)

[Heywyre]

Thank you, everyone, for all your kind wishes and support

My brother is still very emotional (understandably) at this point but is coming around. He is going to be moved to another psych ward today (less restraints - so that is positive for him)

This weekend will consist of going to visit him as much as possible (of course) and trying to get his car moved here (not something I am looking forward to)

I called my sister back east last night to tell her and her first reaction was exactly what I thought it would be "I'll be on a plane tomorrow" to which I replied, "no, that is not what he needs right now". My sister, bless her heart, means well but can be extremely overbearing. This is NOT what he needs right now. Yes, he needs some understanding but he also needs very strong guidance to get him back on track. I believe my H and I can provide that for him.

My main concern right now is when I talk to him about staying on his meds, coming to live with us etc. he just looks blankly at me and that scares me. I am wondering if he is still thinking about taking his life when he gets out, which is why I am pleased they are keeping him there for a while yet.

I finally got some sleep last night which was welcomed for sure. Thank goodness today is Friday
