What a sad situation.

My nephew's FIL is mentally ill and delusional. He was a doctor before his illness progressed and now, he's homeless. He slept on their enclosed back porch for a while. He leaves and comes back periodically.

They don't feel he's dangerous but he changes the daily function of their little family so my nephew doesn't allow him to stay with them anymore. Plus, they have young children and how do you explain?

There is such a stigma attached to mental illness and rightfully so. I just thank God for my health and that of my family too.
