Is this the start?

Caught David stealing food. He knows that all he has to do is tell us he is hungry. We just don’t want him hoarding food in his bedroom. Then he lies and blames it on others, including the cats. We know that with his metabolism, he burns enough food for two or three other people.  We are not withholding food. Makes me sad. Is this the start of the end of the honeymood? On a side note, his former psychiatrist agreed to accept him into her case load and not make us wait until the end of April. Time to return to the book “Get Your Joy Back”. Tweet #fighting4answrs

Mental illness encompasses a broad range of things. Each mental illness is important.

Thank you again for your support. It means the world to my family. To me.

David: I’ll trade places with you if you want… Me:  No David, you need to work your program, but I hope to visit you for a couple of hours soon.  Hopefully later next month. David:  Did you know they have guest housing here? ======== and that would be the sum total of our conversation. Later, I would find out that David is
