My sick son Robert Morein occasionally has long periods of lucidity, when
the medications are working a treat and he's been kept calm and unstressed.
You've apparently spoken to him during one of these lulls (kind of like the
eye of a cyclone).

Then the medications lose their potency, he stops taking them, the voices
return and he gets all amped up like he's on meth.  Then the phone calls
begin, the aggression comes to the surface, and we're lucky if we don't have
to get the cops here to take him back to the hospital.

It's these kind of episodes that Bob has been having since his middle teens
that have caused him to be unable to work for his over 56 years of residence
on this planet.  God knows my wife Jane and I have spoiled him rotten, and
with my booming dentistry practise he clearly never had any discipline.  Is
that the cause of his psychosis?  We don't know.  But the facts are clear,
for anyone to read.  You perhaps should stop harassing his innocent victims
and educate yourself with the facts, Mr. Rabbit.
