to jkb and all who have posted,

I have a similar situation with my brother who has been in psych wards for close to a year. He is now (thankfully)in an apt. complex set up for "transition". I find that when I feel strong, and balanced, I visit him. He can be very draining and I hold myself accountable, ie not drinking, not cowering to a Beast of burden, to myself First and foremost.
I feel we all are in some kind of "transition", at all times. To help another we care for deeply when not stable or qualified (given we are self aware of our inner state) jeopardizes a well conceived "plan" and creates self distrust...not a healthy pattern to follow.
I wish all Love & Light.
