Thank you so much, Sherr. I wish you didn't understand, but I'm glad you do. I hope you know what I'm trying to say.

Part of me is glad my sister is at hte facility as she is hopefully starting to deal with issues that have been with her most of her life. Part of me is angry that it's her there and not her boyfriend, who truly does need to be there as a schizophrenic who won't take his meds. It's so confusing, as she was taking steps to move forward in her life, right down to just buying in the last few weeks an art gallery that she's been working at, as well as seeking counselling that we hoped would lead from this current crisis into the issues I mentioned. So, what happened during the two days between him getting out of hospital and her landing in hospital? We may never know. And that's frightening.

I'm researching the legislation right now and trying to find out why he was allowed to leave a hospital after having been deemed mentally unable to govern his own treatment. Too many people have been hurt since the mental health facilities in this Province were ransacked by the previous government, allowing people who should be in care to walk around - dangerous either to themselves or to others. The current government has a lot to answer for for not fixing the situation, as well.

I know you are and it means a lot.

Love and hugs,


Kat
