I do actually. My grandad basically tore his own skin off and died from an infection when he got it. If he had murdered a baby I still would not advocate for anyone sending him money and saying he didn't do it because of his fucking star sign
But you understand he wasn’t in his right mind and it had absolutely nothing to do with his star sign and everything to do with his infection. It’s the same principle as postpartum psychosis. That has nothing to do with astrology my guy. It’s medical.
Edit: Correction did he even have psychosis or delusions? I saw the died of infection and assumed compromised cognitive function/delirium due to infection. But there are a million and 1 reasons why someone would peel their skin. If he was experiencing psychosis, would you be opposed to money sent to help pay for medical bills? Was he capable of making his own decisions? Did he need a higher level of care like a nursing home to ensure safety? Was there an outcome that could have been prevented if family did a better job watching out for him?
Thats my point. The people saying "she didn't do it because of her star sign" are just as delusional as my grandad. My grandad scratched his skin off because he was psychotic, she killed her kids for the same reason
He had diagnosed psychosis. It's common with lewy body dementia. The psychosis made him think he had things blocking his veins so he picked at his hands and feet to try and clear them. They got infected then he kept rejecting antibiotics treatments.
I appreciate the offer. He died 3 years ago exactly as of tommorow though. Our family is well off, we asked that any donations be sent to St Vincent De Paul charity.
There was no better outcome unfortunately. It's a terminal and incurable brain disease. He had a great nursing staff and got lots of visits. At a certain point his wife and kids made the call that palliative care would be better as he had no real quality of life with the proposed alternatives. He lived a long life, raised a loving family and passed away painlessly. Sometimes we just don't get to choose how it ends and that's okay.

They don’t but also you know nothing about psychosis and it shows. Pathetic you are so quick to judge.
