Haha, I'm sorry to hear of what you are going through. I am going through something similar with a friend I recently connected with on Facebook. She lives on the east coast and has what looks to be schizophrenia. I have spoken to mutual friends who live back their and they have all counseled me to stay away from her, that she is beyond my abilities. After reading her rants on FB, I have come to the same conclusion.
I knew she had a terrible childhood, but now I see how much she is suffering as an adult. She is on SSDI, has subsidized housing, food stamps and a part time job. She is better off than many, but she still dumpster dives for cans.
I have decided to send her some money anonymously, in hopes that it will add a little quality to her life. I am not sure what else I could do that would be prudent.
I hope you keep us posted, Haha.
