If Mike was my brother I would not be contacting the human resource department at my job. I would want to get him help. I would talk with him. I would also try to get others that he was close to involved. I am bossy. When it comes to my loved ones, I will do whatever I need to do for them. If I see that Mike is depressed, I know that I would go over to his house and it would be confrontational because I feel that he needs to grieve. He needs to get it out.

It isn’t easy for children to have to keep changing who they live with each time Ms. S doesn’t take her meds. The children will experience many emotions because of this. I do not want the children to become angry and resentful. I would like the children to attend both individual counseling and group counseling.
