I thought you...Hi Mike,<BR/>Glad you stopped by my blog. I thought you had stopped blogging I hadn't heard from you for so long.<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about people not understanding mental illness...as you may remember my youngest suffers from bi-polar disorder and let me tell you that even people in the profession of (Mental Health) don't get "IT" about half the time.<BR/><BR/>She always puts people off with her behavior and her mouth and I always run around behind her trying to clean up the messes and get people to understand. Some do..some don't and many just don't give a damn. Somehow we muddle through and I am thankful that she has as many people in her life that care about her as she does and I always tell her not to sweat the small stuff. Why should she care about what others think. Of course that is easier said then done.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I think it can be harder on us that love them then it is on them. Just delete away and go from there and hope for the best.<BR/><BR/>Life is too short to spend much of it in anger and worry. It really took a toll on me and my own health. So try to roll with the punches and hope for more good then bad. That's my advise.<BR/><BR/>I love your vacation photos. I love the "Badlands". Seems they are a very sacred spiritual place. Maybe it is the quiet, hey?<BR/>xxxJolieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739008770096553529.post-3398518558511072512007-06-15T06:12:00.000-05:002007-06-15T06:12:00.000-05:00Mike I am not sure what transpired.

Maybe they truly just don't understand, and in their ignorance they make inappropriate comments. I hate to think that there are bloggers out there that are intentionally cruel....but I guess there are..I hope whatever transpired has settled and that you and your wonderful wife can just enjoy life.<BR/><BR/>Cheers my friend!Smalltown RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806734351278128551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739008770096553529.post-14753370420547758752007-06-13T23:44:00.000-05:002007-06-13T23:44:00.000-05:00Mike, you have to do what you feel comfortable wit...Mike, you have to do what you feel comfortable with in being supportive to Barb. If people choose (and I do think you used the correct word there, as it is a choice they have made) to not try to comprehend the myriad of aspects people who must deal with, try to cope with mental health issues, then you are every bit within your right to choose to hit that old delete key! Who knows, maybe by doing that it will turn on at least a "nightlight" ray in some people's minds and begin them down a road to a change of thinking patterns.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739008770096553529.post-43184563999588045702007-06-13T22:03:00.000-05:002007-06-13T22:03:00.000-05:00I understand.

I think these blogs can be so much fun and you can make so many friends on here, why do some people want to be negative? Well, I guess it's just like they are in real life. <BR/><BR/>I hope otherwise things are ok with you and Skittles. Glad to see you on my blog, I've missed your visits.John Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714537622409205603noreply@blogger.com
