Gut Instincts

You can only really follow your own gut instincts in life. Nobody elses. For years I did not understand why the Doctors and Nurses wanted to keep my family together and make sure that I inherited something from my Mum & Dad. It seemed really odd. Even slightly perverse and immoral. Then today I realised why. Being diagnosed a mental patient is a traumatic event and leads to a life of great suffering. Family, friends, and society often turn their back on you completely. Often, and such things have happened in my life, you are simply abandoned and left for dead in a hospital. But tonight I had a vision. What is it like to lead that kind of abandoned, hopeless, and desolate life and then at the moment of the death of you father or mother find out from their probate lawyer that despite being multi millionaires they have left you nothing in their wills? After a life of suffering how completely desolate would that make you feel? That is what the Doctors and nurses were trying to teach me and trying to avoid. It was not the estate inheritances they were trying to manipulate. They were just trying to protect me from the possible soul shattering news that neither of my parents ever really gave a dam about me. Being left a few quid goes a long way to show that at least they loved me once upon a time.
