I love a good rant, but somehow I thought this was going to be politics/money/something non-personal.
Was caught off guard. Seems like quite the dilemma. Part of me wants to know the story behind it, part not.
Sometimes things are lose-lose scenarios. All one can do is hold on until they can't, then take comfort in the fact they held on as long as they could.
I assume the person with the illness is not amenable or unable to get help?
I assume that the person without the mental illness is a saint and/or has a significant obligation or the assumption of one to the person with the illness.
Can the person with the illness be somehow convinced that silver--with it's antibiotic properties is a solution to their problem? 😜
Hope things get better...
