With my brother Phil, I recently watched the Robert Redford movie about a stranded sailor and his ferocious struggle to survive. The metaphor between film and Phil cuts deep.
I am sincerely moved by your posts about your brother. As the mom of a child who has lots of mental health/work/housing stability issues, I always look forward to your latest with Phil and I am so inspired by your ability to meet him where he is.
Hi, Matt. Your writing about your relationship with Phil is interesting. I'm guessing it can be hard to determine what you can or should do for him and that you make judgment calls to do the best you can. I'm glad to hear he's had a decent run at staying sober lately.
