46. i wonder how many on this thread have raised a kid w a mental illness or

developmental difficulties. i'm thinkin not many.

i have. 2 of them. let me tell you something- it is damn hard to get help for your kid.
my son is probably schizophrenic. i couldnt even get him a good evaluation when he walked around my house w a 3 lb hammer, threatening to break down doors.
cops picked him up.
he got a 3 day hold, a "dx" of at least bipolar. but he is clearly more than that.
he stole from me. constantly. he self medicated w weed all day every day if he could. he is seriously paranoid, thinks he is a sovereign citizen. thinks alex jones has all the truths.

you cant make a kid get help. even if you get them into therapy, to keep you happy and keep you from kicking them out of the house, you cant make them tell the truth to the shrink. you cant even defend yourself when they tell the shrink about beatings that never happened.

you cant make them take meds. you cant lock them up, even if you think they are dangerous.
you cant protect his gf's 3 yo from him.

and it is a knife in the gut like no other.

it is way past time to stop blaming every parent for every kids mental illness.
freud was full of shit.
bruno bettleheim was full of shit.
misogynists spewing their own issues onto so many innocent, loving, caring mothers.

just stop this shit.
