My brother has been diagnosed bi-polar with borderline schizophrenia. He won't take his meds, won't see a doctor, thinks he's not ill. He categorically refuses to get help.
He's fallen out with all of us, his family, because we were trying to convince hil to take his meds or at least talk to someone. He won't speak to us now. His last message to me was "fuck you - all of you". He lives in the US and the rest of us are all in Europe.
His wife has just filed for divorce after 20 years together because she can't take it anymore. He was physically violent with her and although she still loves him, she can't be with him. We all support her in this.
I've just heard today that he's lost his job. To be honest, I'm surprised he kept it this long.
I don't know what's going to happen to him now. He's got no friends, no wife, no job, no family around him.
He's very intelligent, funny, and kind. He could have had a brilliant life. I'm so scared he's going to end up on the streets or dead.
He was abused as a child by a teacher, and even though I can't know for sure that's what sparked his mental health problems, I still want to kill the fucker who did this to him.
I can't stop crying. My lovely brother. This is not fair.
