I'm not on the other side of anything,. here, in thinking that we should just swallow it and get our loved ones the help they need..but..on the other hand., the help they need is often not available, even though the punitive consequences are. Throwing your cousin under the nutbus is more likely to end in punitive measures than useful treatment. Obviously, a problem.....but yet another example of taboo breeding perversion.
My little brother is fucked up. Just to bring it home. He could use some help....the best help he (or I) can expect for him..at present, is simply that I keep his ass contained. I would blow a hard whistle if anyone asked for a non-consequential reference...but I won't commit him nor will I contribute to anything that would lead to him being processed in-system. I do worry, ofc, that if something happens to me...then he'll end up in a situation in which he might hurt someone (or himself, or both)....but I have to weigh that against the certain knowledge that disclosing that information officially will certainly hurt him and..likely, help no one. Too many people, in our current system, are faced with the same decision.
Yeah, I wouldn't just have a family member committed for a mental illness. I specifically meant that I would fucking roll right over a kiddie toucher, no matter who they were.
