Released from the Wild

Rec'd a call today from the social worker at the hospital that he was released to his sister in the morning. She said she told him in front of his sister that the Order was extended to two years and that he was to only contact us through our lawyer.

His reaction to this was that he was depressed because he "missed his girls." These girls with whom his absence had not made a single ounce of difference.


What a fine way he has found to elicit sympathy!

She told me two things that concerned me. One that they didnt think he was faking his recovery but they have no way of telling. And, she felt he had "a little bit of insight". When these people talk about insight, they are referring to the patient's ability to tell he/she is ill. So does this mean he is still fighting the idea he is ill? As he said before he "likes to feel this way" when he is manic.
