Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Question about severe emotional distburbance/mentalillness in cohousing

[Rob Sandelin (floriferous]

Everybody affected needs counseling help.  I recommend retaining and using
an experienced local family counselor to get all the parties together to
work through a solution.  It will take several sessions, there is unlikely
to be a quick fix here, even if the person at the root of all this leaves or
dies,  but a gradual evolution of understanding can come from those willing
to invest in their relationships. The boy and his parents can benefit
enormously, especially the boy, it may very well save his life.
