@Former-Member, hugs for what is happening with your brother. I really haven't got any great ideas other than to somehow keep letting him know you love him as best you can. I wonder if you might get some better ideas in the Carers Forum about that, where you might find people with more experience of caring for a loved one with similar mental illness. Some of the people here in the Lived Experience forum are also over there, including @Faith-and-Hope and @PeppiPatty. I've posted there occasionally myself as I sometimes get confused about how to deal with my partner's undiagnosed 'delusions'. Overall he's a happy and functional chappy. It's only when my own mental health is particularly down that I have trouble dealing with his wildly imaginative mind. We had take away pizza for dinner but yours sounds heaps better! Finally got the dishes done here. 🙂

It's ok for us to have different thinking on any given topic with no need for forgiveness or further explanation.

This this is a detail from a Van Gogh painting.
I have created a misunderstanding, but it would take more explanation to try to clarify it, so I will leave it alone.
I hope it will clarify itself in time.
Have a good evening everyone ❤️

@Faith-and-Hope I think it's just best to move forward for now if we can. I simply do not have any more energy for that topic today. Hoping you can accept that.
