A motive is emerging (Sandy Hook shooting)

[libdem4life]

54. and you know this from experience? Please explain to me how to get an adult "committed"

involuntarily? Doesn't usually happen for more than 3 days voluntary or non-voluntary...no room in the facilities...usually like a psych emergency room.

Question 1 The "pushy, bossy mother makes her son a deaf mute" shit is shameful. There are many conditions that could describe...Social Anxiety Diorder...Non verbal Learning Disorder...Paranoia...Psychosis NOS, Depression, late-onset schizophrenia ... any combination of such and all are crippling for any social life. Most at his level, present multipile diagnoses.

And medications? Some work, or work then stop working. But at this level getting into possible anti-psychotics, its a maddening guessing game for patient and family. Side effects are often drugged, psychotic outburts, or suicide.

Then, add in divorce trauma (seems Dad CHEATED but that's ok he gave her money, or she had her own from her career as a financial analyst in NY) so regardless of the "civilized divorce"when Adam was 17, Dad was just ready to get away from the situation, get a new wife and on with his life and certainly keep his job. Dad and Adam probably had a difficult time ...what with cheating on his mom and breaking up the family...as dad would just expect him to "get over it or take a pill or something.

So now Mom has the problem 24/7. Therefore according to you, she does not get to leave the house...ever. Her life is forever handcuffed to her disturbed son. She should have no life outside the home even though she is a finance professional, now that Dad is gone and all. And I still find it odd that we don't KNOW whether the guns were locked in basement. Which to me, infers they were but we'll probably never learn because now, where would the blame go? It's entirely possible when he flipped a psycho...that he forced her to open the safe...then shot her. But one more Blame the Mom left here...she should have never had guns. Well, I think that about every gun-totin' idiot, especially the ones that accidently shoot their kids or vice versa.

Finally, the problem seems to have been long term and she was planing to move her entire life to Washington State where apparently she could have him permanently committed and live close. With severe mental illness, permanent "placement" not in a prison setting is horrendously expensive as it is not government provided. She would likely be paying enormous amounts of money for private care. To Adam, leaving his "safe" world would easily be enough to cause a psychotic break.

I find the "blame the Mother" so typical...Dad left them for another woman. That may not seem a lot to all the wise asses hereon, but to a disturbed male child, having to deal with the new "girlfriend", that's sheer desertion.

I think the last word you are searching for is not "vacuum" but Psychotic. And yes, results from that is absolutely random. Ask any schizophrenic family member.

You see, I'm not just pulling this out of my ass. I've been involved personally...family, friends and school families...and mostly what I see is ignorance and childish need to blame someone, oh right, the Mom.
