That's a really tough road to be on. Good for him to come clean, but I wonder if he will regret it and learn to keep his mouth shut and let the demons run around in his head unchecked.
My impulse would be to circle the wagons and not let him in, but he's one of the ones who should be on the inside of the wagon circle, not the outside. What an awful choice to have to make.
I don't know enough about mental illnesses to know how well his can be treated and if he can be made "safe" to be around the rest of the family.
