My older Brother (I've told the story before here) was locked and medicated in a mental ward of the VA hospital in Omaha, Nebraska for the better part of a year in 1979. He was unhappy with his life and threatened to kill himself. Whoop-de-do, he didn't. He was basically broke, lazy, angry, -claimed he couldn't find a job and wanted attention, so the VA gave it to him for free, since he was a vet. When he got out, he changed careers and eventually became a doctor. He has declared bankruptcy, still broke, and basically a loser. Very bad attitude and his life reflects it, hated his Father, milked thousands of $s from Mom, multiple marriages, estranged children, crappy broken down cars, you name it. It's all about choices, and so far he's choisen to make bad ones. Thankfully, he lives over a thousand miles away, and doesn't hound me for money like he did years ago. Some people cannot be helped, and that is their choice too.
