Thank you for your thoughtful email. I had received an email saying that the guy who killed Jaco didn't "really mean to do it" when he in fact he was beaten to death, as you said, murdered. I wasn't saying that his bipolar disorder had killed him either. But quite a few people had written saying he had slipped into alcoholism and cocaine addiction......homelessness etc. I thought it relevant to bring up the bipolar disorder as I'm assuming not as many people know about that. I know way too much about manic depression, alcoholism, suicide, hospitalizations, medications and treatments to ever judge anyone about how to take care of themselves. I am glad that what you are doing works for you and that you have a supportive partner. My dogs are my saviors also, two greyhounds and a pug.
Peace, Andrea
