[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 296945, member: 393"] [SIZE=4][FONT=Fixedsys]The tweedles both have a serious mental & emotional illness. I don't call them mentally ill anymore than I call them "RADishes" as some parents of attachment disordered children do. I tell others & myself that my children are kt & wm with mental/emotional illnesses, not unlike epilepsy or diabetes. I have to look at these diagnosis's in this way - just the way I operate. Without the diagnosis of these disorder we would have no services to survive the devastation these same diagnosis's have brought into my home, my life. While there is a stigma - more & more the term "mental illness" is earning a bit more respect. Some of the public are learning that the mentally ill are not blubbering morons; rather seriously ill in need of treatment. Look at the homeless - how many are mentally ill? Sorry - I'll get off my soapbox. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
