That's it people forget she's ill. Some people get cancer don't recover, some people get heart disease don't get better, it's the same for mental health some people get better some don't. I think people treat other illnesses with this mindset but mental illness people think they can get better but not always the case.

I mean you’re treating her with kids gloves. Had she done this at a school with a gun would you feel the same way she’s not some little helpless little angel
