how would you react if your relative ran mad and undressed in public?

this situation is way similar but not as exact as what the situation about your friend's brother, honestly its about my mom, my mom she serves as the bread winner in the family, she manages and keeps on thinking how our income increase by finding ways to generate more money by thinking business that she knows and wants to start, aside from earning from her job as a master teachers in a public school and now was promoted as department head in TLE in high school department, i feel so sad at the same time very anxious of how things are going in our family, my father seems very irresponsible and just leaning his way of life being a father to sustain our financial needs in the family and taking for granted what my mom decides to him what to do, she gave him an fx before to drive and at least say that it can gather money for our food and allowances in our schooling in high school way back before, then as years gone by, we didn't see any progress with him its just like he doesn't have any goal to prior with, its just like his only focus is to drive and just to tell himself i'm a father and working then just eat when I'm hungry, then drive again i just let my wife to what to do for the maintenance of our fx, and there he is a very irresponsible and a no dream person, since then our fx has gotten lots of things to fix and almost took the money earned by my mom to fix until she decided not to do it anymore and just sell it, imagine how he is so taking for granted things that he must know what to do in order to gain more with it, so instead we went back to jeep, our new jeep now being driven by my father and my younger brother who is already a graduate of automtive so he knows what to fix and make driving with our jeep as part time earning, he also give a part to my mom for our daily needs too, but with my father up to now he doesn't have any goals on what to do best to improve he is just keeping on driving all day 6 days a week and sometimes going back home early just to eat and take a rest, he even have the guts to tell my younger brother that he won't let the things happened with our ruined fx to our jeep, didn't he think of that before? and he'll just soon realize how important it was, honestly if he manages to have a goal thinking of earning more income to buy a new fx, then that would be great isn't it, you know my mom is totally having a psychological disorder, sometimes she even can't control herself when there are problems that she faces with the family, I told her not to worry too much and pray to God, but it seems like she can't get rid of stressing herself with problems with these stubborn people with my family my mom is a professional and my father is only a high school graduate and grew up in a province, he is so contented with planting crops, fishing to eat, and that's all it!. when my brothers are not that too accurate to follow my mom's commands when she is fully tempered, she just ran out and rushing to the road wearing only a bath towel wrap in her body, isn't it so a shame knowingly she is a professional teacher, even I feel so crazy with what is going on with my family, its just like they can't control their selves with regards to problems, really its ridiculous.

What she did was right. Of course, you can't make things worse by ignoring it. It would be embarrassing, but it's a shame to neglect what's happening to your brother. I would do the same.

I'd feel really sorry for the person. But it would definitely surprise me. Poor thing, that' s not an easy situation. I remember in the elderly nursing home I was volunteering this woman was okay one week but next she was cursing me and even was agressive. She became blind so she was really angry, I'll never forget how much it hurt to see someone go down.

I'd probably do the same. I would protect my relative in anyway possible. I would never want people to be making fun of him most especially if he is not in his right mind.

I think I would do the same. I will do everything just to protect my family from harm. I salute for what your friend just did to his brother. She's an awesome sister. :)

Your friend is great, she did not let emabarrassment stopped her from helping her brother. It is shameful but people who witnessed that will think again and admire her. They would ask themselves if they can do the same, at that point, I'm sure they will stop laughing.

If my brother did that, I would be embarrassed, but then I would try to get him some help because he would need it after something like that.

I would love that, and I would want all my relatives doing that, and I would get them declared insane, and take charge of their properties as their guardian and take a hefty fee for managing their monies..lol

The best thing to do is to give help to your own kin. If everybody is running away including his family, then that poor guy will really lose everything and that's going to be tough on everyone. Help must be given immediately so it doesn't get worst.

Wow it sounds unbelievable and horrible,even I can not image this will happen around my relatives. And I think you are right your friend should go straight to her brother and cover him then send him to hospital,I feel so sorry for that man and he is a little weak in mental so he really need more care from his relatives.

I would do the same for my brother and I would be very sad that he was going through such a tough time. I hope he got the treatment and care he needed in hospital. Unfortunately people are able to hide their mental stress for a long time and if they have no-one around to be kind to them and help them then the situation is aggravated. Mental illness is an illness like any other and more money should be spent on care for the mentally ill.

I have a distant relative, he used to snap out from his senses. I will do the same thing, there is no need to feel embarrass. He is sick and need to support him.

I will do what your friend had done.In fact,I had also experienced that.When I was a little child,my mother was mentally sick.Sometimes she even didn't know who I was.At first,I felt very angry,but then I realized that my mum also could not control herself. Actually,when she came to her senses,she was much sadder than me for what she had done.Therefore,no matter what happened to our relatives,we should not abandon them.What they need badly is the care and protection from us.

Salute to your friend! People who laughed at the man just didn't know that was going on, and their laughing is just OK. Your friend is a good girl. Absolutely she has done the right thing, good for everybody. She saved her dear brother to some extent. If I was in her situation, I would have done the same, I think. Naked is nothing, just a small problem. The real problem is that how to help brother to get through such hard times. But it's far easier said than done. ;) ...

She made the right decision, at the end of the day he is her brother, I think he should get some help, or at least someone to talk to. Trouble with men is that they suppress all their frustration, anger and hurt until one day they find they cannot cope any more and have a 'meltdown' I hope he gets the attention he needs to put him back on the right track. Life sure ain't easy.

I think it is good to save his brother first than her work. Its ok if she will late for work. She must take care of his brother and solve the problem.

I would have reacted the same way...I think it was a good move on her brother..Had she jumped on that bus and some= thing had happened to him while he was in that state she would not have forgiven herself.. When it comes to family I think we do an aweful lot of making decisions instantly and this is one of those instances...

Same thing what your friend did. I feel sorry for her brother.

That is terrible and pitiful. One should help him and lead him to hospital or in his house. I'm sorry for that.

Your friend did the right thing. i donnot think i will hesitate when faced with the same situation. talking about that situation is another thing because u cannot stop thinking of the embrassment and it is human nature to feel respected by others. but once you are right in that situation, the first idea is to do something to stop people huring those we love, and to help them out. That is real love.
