      @China Dave John's stroke has nothing to do with his mental illness and mental state.
      John probably has a mixture of mental illnesses which he must have had before he ever came to the Philippines, his also trying to be deceptive and will try to manipulate Paul to enable him even more to continue his Obsessive-compulsive disorder, personality disorder or Bipolar disorder, he may even have Schizophrenia but I can guarantee that this man probably has a long mental health record in the USA going back years. He may well be getting abused by his wife and his inlaws but he is enabling them to abuse him because he actually likes it(it sounds odd but that is mental illness)and the more Paul tries to keep him away from his abusers the more he will run right back to them. I can tell from Pauls's body language that he is not really comfortable with John and doesn't really trust him at all.
      I have many years experience of working with people from mental health backgrounds and social abuse history, trust me this will not work unless John has professional mental health help, he needs to be back in the USA and even if he has no money and nowhere to live he will be helped.(his making non-stop excuses to avoid treatment and manipulate people into enabling his OCD)

      These videos are helping Paul make money as these human interest stories attract a lot of views and the more views increases your TH-cam income.But a lot of these expats who retire to countries like the Philippines and Thailand were nearly broke or not very well off before going there The attraction is that their meeker savings go a lot further there plus there is the opportunity to have a pretty young wife half your age - but the catch is you have to look after her family as well.Her family will always come before you. Not many realize this and that has caused John's plight.

    The change so far is nothing short of amazing. From the way John looks to the way he speaks and interacts compared to the first video shows a huge improvement. Some people feel so secure that they don't realize that what happened to John could happen to anyone. That's why it's so important for people to watch out for eachother. Paul, you and the others involved are truly wonderful people.
