The best thing that can happen, and it sounds horrible, is that he ends up back in jail. At least I know where he is and he's safe. I mean, it certainly isn't ideal, especially if he's in isolation and I have no control over him and I have no control over the judge, the social workers, the people in the jail, whatever I have to say. I can say all day long, but they do what they do, right?

So I don't want to be not hopeful about There's always a miracle that can happen. And I feel like regardless of the brain disease, we're all on a journey, right? We're all on a journey.

That's all I could do. And once he decided he didn't want that anymore for whatever reason, then he's basically on his own and to whatever is going to happen, it's going to happen.

Right. Yes. Number one, we didn't cause it, right? we as parents, friends, family, we didn't cause it. We can't cure it and we can't control it. All we can control is our response to it. And we have to make a decision as family members or friends, what we're going to do. How can I best help this person if that's even available, if it's available to help and have boundaries.

And I think people really need to know that It's okay to have boundaries. If your loved one is violent, you don't have to, it sounds awful, but if they're being violent in your home, you don't have to put up with that. Your life doesn't have to be ruined because your loved one has a brain disease that's affecting you.

I think that people knowing that they're not alone, and that's why I love what you're doing is you're not alone. There's lots of us friends and families of relatives with seriously mentally ill people all over the world, I'm sure. We've all sacrificed a lot of time and energy and worry and fear. And the what ifs and the should haves and the guilt, right? We feel guilty.
