[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more you write, the more it sounds like Mary might have some form of mental health issue. Does your extended family generally accept the idea of getting professional help for such issues? Or is there more of an attitude of not believing that mental health issues are real and that people are just lazy or spoiled?

Yeah, another poster suggested that Mary's mental health issue is "alternative depression". just because someone's a bum doesn't mean they're depressed. Give me a break. [/quote]

I'm not sure what "alternative depression" is, I've never heard of this particular diagnosis.

I do think from this response and from the response at 1100 that this is possibly a family that doesn't believe that mental health issues exist and that people should just snap out of it and lift themselves up by their own bootstraps. It doesn't sound like there's a lot of sympathy or empathy for this particular woman and it doesn't sound as though anyone did anything to look into what was going on with her and to get her any kind of professional help.

I think that there is more to this story than what has been posted here. I have been shocked at the mean-spirited comments that have been made about Mary.  It is too bad that Mary did not have access to good legal advice before the will was settled. It would be a blessing if someone would point Mary in the direction of a good social services counselor and/or family doctor, someone that could give her some idea of what kind of help would be most useful for her.
