Wow. My local grocery has a man with Downs who has worked there for many years, at least 20. Now I'm wondering if it's your brother. I haven't seen this man for a while, but I don't think it's been a year...
Anyway...May your brother and family continue to have peace.
And yeah, I was teetering on going nuts myself. So. So grateful to be out of that crazy state of mind of alcohol induced insanity. It happened so gradually for me and then seemingly out of nowhere I was doing stuff that was dangerous.
Thanks for the reminder/reality check.
