[blparent] Whose rules should take precedence?

[Kate McEachern]

Just because some one decides to keep family out doesn't meen their mentely 
unstable.  Some people just don't get alonge with their families in the way 
most do.  And do you know for a fact that your friend was mentely unstable? 
Or is this what you think his ishue was?  Because they are two different 
things.
