My sister R checked herself into a psychiatric hospital approximately two weeks ago. Yesterday my sister, her daughter and I met with R and her doctor. The meeting went well and I specifically initiated a dialogue between R and her daughter relative to her daughter’s anger about the manner in which she was raised. R has struggled with depression her entire life and her kids did not get the degree of care and affection that one might expect from a healthy parent. R's ex-husband was the primary caregiver and he was a physically abusive alcoholic. Definitely not the best environment to grow up in…

I spend a lot of time helping people that I do not know. It is time that I spent more time helping my own family. I must commit to spending more time with my wife, sons, sisters, nieces and nephews.
