Are we fixed yet?

‘Well, was I even broken?’ is my first question.

Was I ill? Or was it just an escalation of a damaging lifestyle that got out of hand?

I still feel the same.

Hello Alex

I have read your blog and it has raised an interesting question for me about my son ‘was he even broken or ill’?

Yes he had a damaging lifestyle but he sustained it to a certain degree. I wonder if ‘his voices’ would have been interpreted differently in a different age or even a different culture.

I know he felt broken and trapped whilst sectioned and was it right to lock him up – so many questions and now there will never be any answers?

Hi Sue thanks for the love and hugs

i am sorry for your loss, your son was lucky to have you there for him even if and i am sure it did not feel like that at times.

i think your right different cultures might well have view his mental health differently, but adiction has the same devistating effects worldwide.
i am sure your sons memory is now safe and looking for peace with you and those that gave him love it sounds like you son still had a glimmer of real life.

love to you Sue x
