[quote=Anonymous]OP have you reached out to an organization called the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI)? They do a lot for families of mentally ill folks and have a program called family to family which is a support group for people going through what you are going through. http://www.nami.org NAMI turned out to be very helpful for my family as we were dealing with a bipolar relative. I learned about how to take protect myself but at the same time we got access to a lot of resources that would be helpful to you. For example we learned how to get him on SSI and Medicaid. We also now work with a non-profit in the area called the Green Door that helps handle most of his affairs. If you live in the area there is a very strong NAMI chapter. Good luck. [/quote]
