Thank you. You took the bottom line and exposed the truth.
If he lost both legs Mel’s critics would muster some slack and sympathy, but never for internal sufferings not seen by the eye. Disorders of the mind and spirit are still scorned, judged and mocked by the standard of outward symtoms, in our supposed “enlightened” society. I feel terribly sorry for this gifted man, and it is frequently the gifted who do suffer from bipolar disorder.
Praying for the creator of THE PASSION.
His rants on those videos his wife made are not unusual for these problems...people rant as that when drunk and or their disorder is in swing. She knows this and said so ...”you need medication”....not uncommon people with bipolar start feeling better and go off their meds.
No doubt Mels problems are out of control. But the lady knew going into this Mel had these issues...I just think she's been setting him up from the get go. The courts are already seeing this of recent.
Bottom line...Mel needs to go back into treatment AGAIN! He knows it and he also knows he'll continue to loose all he has. It's the plight of those who struggle with alcohol and his disorder. People who partner up with those with these problems are setting themselves up for mistreatment...they should know better.
