Parker's article shows a lack of knowledge

As a member of the board of directors of Sanctuary House, I applaud the rebuttal by David C. Partington (March 23) to the article by Kathleen Parker (March 9).

Many families of individuals with severe mental illness work tirelessly to bring about wellness and rehabilitation of their loved ones.

Labeling illness in such a degrading way only shows lack of knowledge of medical diagnosis and treatment, and insensitivity toward others.

We can do better.

I have nothing more to add; just keep on keeping on and know that there are people who respect what you are doing.
