I agree with Periwinkle, it’s not defensive but empathetic to consider the fears and efforts of a family with mental illness. Lot’s of very talented and capable people struggle with this, many do just fine. It’s heartbreaking to see such a violent event. Where he went to school, or his father went to school are irrelevant. I have a family member, who went to an Ivy School where he developed mental health issues. I am happy to say he is doing great, and has a great family of his own. The only time class and status matter in these situations is having access to good healthcare.
