If they do that, the doors will open to counselling, or medication, or just accepting their situation and addressing it. You can seek out family support groups, to meet other folks who are going through similar things. If you…[Read more]

Maybe we can suggest a support organization where you can get more information and hopefully groups or support.

This made him calmer and more secure. I believe the help for families should be long term to stay on track and not fall back into the desperate mode.
