Advice for Julie!

This is from Jennifer regarding our Julie's plight (below).

I think you have to put your children's safety first. Since Mary isn't being open about her mental illness, it's hard to make the comparison to asthma. She's not giving you all the information you would need to make accommodations for her. The fact that she's taking your kids along with her on her shoplifting sprees is very disturbing. Who knows what else they could be exposed to? If she got disoriented in a store, couldn't she also get disoriented while driving, or something else physically dangerous?

Good points, Jennifer. Team Trouble, keep 'em coming.
