Ellie,

First, though it's not a perfect ending in justice, I am happy that your brother is not facing jail time. I'm sorry that he has to move, but maybe it will be a clean start for him as well. I hope that he can find a new place and start fresh from all of this. What an awful thing to happen.

Also THANK YOU for your care and advice. It helped a lot. I'm not sure if H is taking drugs - it's certainly been suggested before. I also don't know about the vitamin deficiency. He is not vegetarian and no Tagamet....the only family history is of depression (his mother, I think), his aunt tried to commit suicide twice after her very ugly divorce. And a strong family history of Alzheimers.

The funny thing is, he's a doc and he does excellent in clinical care...it's just life outside of that that tends to slip. For that I am thankful - I would hate for patients to suffer any damage.

Again, thanks!
