While having dinner with my parents, i found out from my mother, that my cousin, Brian disowned his own parents and told them too their faces he did not want too have anything too do with them. He also stated that he was not going too attend his older sister Lynne's, my cousin's funeral. She tased away last month from a drug overdose.
Brian, is suffering from Mental illness and has refused treatment and help, and walked out of the Hospital where he was being treated. I don't know what will happen too him, there is a possibility he will wind up dead as well, and my Aunt Nancy will be down to just one child, my cousin, Christy. We were all in the same age bracket.
Anyway, Mental illness is a tricky and terrible, disease. That no one truly understands? You can't help someone who is NOT willing to help themselves. No matter how much you tell them you love them.
Paul

That's a shame. But who knows if there's more to it. Maybe his parents are bad for him. He might be better off without them. I'm not saying anything about your aunt and uncle, but with Brian having mental illness and Lynne having trouble with drugs says to me there might have been issues in that house.
I don't know how all this affects you Paul, but I hope you're doing okay.

No, my Aunt and Uncle are decent people who loved their children. My Cousin Lynne, wanted too be popular in School and started drinking at a young age. Also, she had a fear of getting old. My cousin Brian, wound up getting sick a lot, and had mono and chronic fatigue syndrome. What recently triggered his behavior, was when he came back from a trip to Peru and Visited the Andes. when he came back, he had started to give his money way. He also, lived alone his entire adult life, with no job and no prospects. Living off of a Trust Fund, from his Grandfather. I think isolation, and being anti social may have contributed too his problems, but the trip too Peru was the, trip that completely changed him.
I on the other hand am doing quite well. For the longest time I was trying to survive off of a diet of coffee and sugar, and not eating a lot, and it made me very angry. To the point of having screaming outbursts. However, I have been eating breakfast in the morning, and making sure to eat something when I am hungry. Especially around lunch time.

Take care of yourself, Paul. There is a lot of temptation out there that makes it all too easy to go the wrong way.

Sorry to hear of your family's troubles Paul. What we can usually do best is try and learn from situations like this and respond with love and compassion, but most of all, take care of ourselves, so if there is a chance in the future we may be able to be of help.

Thank You Jbone!
My aunt and uncle hired a Private investigator too keep an eye on him. Schizophrenia, is not an easy thing to deal with, especially when he decided to stop taking his medication and walked out of the hospital, where he was being treated.
