My little brother is schizophrenic. About a week and a half ago he attacked my dad's girlfriend then went in the kitchen to get a knife. He's been in the hospital since and now they're ready to release him. My dad doesn't want him living with him anymore so they're going to put him in a home. I've been in the psych hospital many times and I hate it and I hate that it's come to this for my brother. I can't imagine going into one of those places and never being able to leave. It's like prison for the mentally ill. I think my dad should break up with his girlfriend and let my brother come back home. That's not really a good solution though. My brother needs some serious care. I don't know what to think about all this.
