Oh, Browser, my prayers are with you, especially since this is your son. Ulysses was a friend, however dear, no comparison to the love a parent has for a son/child.

The reason that Ulysses was here with me was such a blow to his mind that he was only here for a week. He mingled with my neighbors and friends as they came and went. His mania would take over at times and I'd be there to stare him back into a bit of a submission considering we'd spoken about his manic symptoms prior. Well, this desease is so sneaky that it makes them believe that they can 'out smart' everyone. They'll have people laughing and so charmed that everyone in their path leaves in glee.

It's so sad that 'we' can see what's happening to them in a matter of seconds. The matter with this issue is that we never know kind of 'games' their manic selves are playing and so we become leiry of them, their behaviors and tend to turn away and leave them.

Oh, this is so, so sad.
