Dear Putih
Good for you. What sort of reply was that to give you? I wouldn't take anything he says to you personally. Can you talk to a nurse or Dr about how best to help him and how best to cope yourself? Your steadfastness, love and loyalty are a lesson to us all. I always found it most helpful when visiting schizophrenic or old demented people in hospital, to enter into their world with them and try to modify and soften some of their beliefs from inside. But I'm not a professional. I just recognise compassion when I see it.
love
Fred
