[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a bipolar brother who suffers from severe depression and mania. His life is an emotional roller coaster. When he is on his meds, he is functional. Most people may not know he has a mental disorder. Then he'll go off his meds when he is feeling better and he spirals out of control. I don't know if Stephen Paddock had a mental illness but whenever there is a mass shooting tragedy, I think of my brother. I have nightmares about him hurting others sometimes. He has therapists and sees doctors regularly. I just worry about him and it makes me sad.[/quote]

My brother too. Same dx but he also abuses alcohol and pills.    I am more worried he'd kill his wife. Possibly the kids.  He's been arrested for domestic violence but she refused to testify.  But I know of at least four other incidents of violence.  And that's what I, a distant sister, know about. So I'm sure there is more.  People who do that keep it as secret as they can.

The glimpse into that instability is scary.  I feel like anything is possible. :(

And he also has assault weapons. :([/quote]

Let's say he shoots them up today. Would you think--"I should have done/said something?"

I'm puzzled why you assume that I haven't done anything.[/quote]
