I was certified in homeopathy many yrs ago, that's beside the point. The fact is I know better than (and would never) tell him I can or will help him. We are all well aware he needs professional medical help.
There has been a small army of people, mothers, brothers, friends, bosses, sons, daughter, and even neighbors who have seen him go from happy gardener to lonely guy on the porch, who have tried to get him help.
He says he fears God too much to ever take his life, but that doesn't stop him from putting himself in harms way.
I even went as far a alerting my village police dept. creating a Matter of Record so if I call them they know his history. It's extrem, but I want to cover all bases.
I have been praying he would receive help for 3yrs now. I tried to force him and that backfired bad. Really bad!
That's when I found this site. It's been better since then. He's not angrily screaming anymore, because I am not agitating him or giving him a victim to abuse.
I've learned it's how I react that can make a difference.
The past can't be ahead of you in the future. You don't have to figure it all out, just pick a direction. What's next...I don't know but I can't wait!
