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 for one support all of the efforts of your organization, NAMI and so forth. For the families/care takers of those with psychological disorders/mental illness, I say you are the salt of the earth. I have nothing more to add; just keep on keeping on and know that there are people who respect what you are doing.
