Good idea, Curious! YIKES !!! is the first thing that comes to mind when reading that letter, and the reply. It sounds like Torn has already basically made up his mind, and just wants validation and to be told he shouldn't feel guilty about getting OUT. The reply was equally outrageous - Prudence needs to be told, in no uncertain terms that NOT ALL BIPOLAR PEOPLE ARE THAT OUT OF CONTROL, AND THERE ARE MANY WHO LEAD LONG, SUCCESSFUL LIVES, WITH THE HELP OF MEDICATION!! It sounds like Torn's wife was off her meds more than she was on, and he is writing about the result.
