[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 568836, member: 14557"] Very powerful article, Kathy, thank you for sharing. There was a time when I feared I would be that mother too. We had a school shooting type of an incident (except it wasn't school or shooting) near us when my difficult child was around ten, he was eleven or twelve when I read a book written by a parent of the culprit. That was when I understood it could be my son in few short years. After that there was times when it look even worse. While he wasn't physically violent after quite an early age, many school shooters have not been either. My son's life turned to different direction, partly because he luckily happened to be talented in something so socially accepted as sports, but I can still see, how it could had begun to develop to other direction during his most difficult teen years. With him bullying on it self, and of course the social skills defects that both led to bullying and got worse because of that, were the major issue, not a traditional mental illness (he is neither bipolar or schizophrenic.) Still I can still see, how I could had been that mother. [/QUOTE]
