Thank you for your well thought out comm...Dear PK,<br /><br />Thank you for your well thought out comments regarding a terrible crisis. It seems obvious that you are a pro with much experience on what goes wrong in dealing with mental illness, in it's various phases, as well as what we can do to improve. I pray the Vice President will be listening to you.<br /><br />As a mother of a son hospitalized, jailed, homeless many times I have walked the walk feeling each door is closed, not open. The dramatic events it takes to get help are rediculous! If our kids were affected with MS, or cancer they wouldn't have to become homeless, delusional, or serve jail terms to get an appointment with the correct medical professional. We are doing it wrong! <br /><br />As a mother of a 24 year old daughter teaching kindergarten, my heart is tragically divided. <br /><br />I stand with you. How can I help? <br /><br />PBMama Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416199536643510625noreply@blogger.com
