[QUOTE="savior no more, post: 679959, member: 19838"] I have come to the conclusion that my son will be instiututionalized at some point for a long time. The sad fact is our society has jails and in Texas State Schools for the severely mentally retarded and criminally MR. My son's processing speed is severely MR - 56 - however other functions aren't so bad. I have to advocate on his behalf in dealing with the judicial system insomuch as to alert them of his diagnosis and need for medication. They have always been very helpful and understanding. I think this time they were hoping he would get killed before they had to deal with him again as I had written letters to probation in desperation asking for them to revoke probation - that was back in July 2015. Much of that was done in the event of a tragedy and if the lens of society was turned on me to sow what I had done. Believe me I have lived the isolation of a struggling parent with a difficult child only to be judged and scorned by school officials and also the legal system. I have a certain budgeted amount and not a lot to give him - and yes I do put it directly on his books and not much. The system is a racket and I could go on for hours about the discriminatory nature of our judicial system. Suffice to say I am grateful he is alive as he was getting beat up on a regular basis since July while out on the streets. He now is saying he did me and my poor dear mother who is 81 a favor by turning himself in and just not letting the cops shoot him. In a way he did, but he mainly says that to manipulate me into feeling sorry for him. Basically I've felt sorry for him his whole life. It's me I need to feel sorry for and attend to - not him - as it hasn't done him one bit of good. Thanks for responding and the direction - some days I just wish someone would PLEASE give me the handbook on how to raise this child. [/QUOTE]
