If a friend see a friend drifting off, at least they can try to distract them. Something as simple as talking to them or grabbing there hand. <BR/>Just a theory from someone that is not literate on the subject.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08991831443306999256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126905610166925807.post-75587176624453486982009-01-28T17:15:00.000-05:002009-01-28T17:15:00.000-05:00From the other side of the coin, *successfully* li...From the other side of the coin, *successfully* living with someone who is mentally ill is not an ingrained trait.
