[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 458735"] I hear you. My son isn't suffering so much from mental illness as he is from substance abuse. That's where I fear the judgment, I guess. It's like there are 2 schools of thought 1)"Boys will be boys (or kids will be kids) We all did that or worse in college..." or 2) "OMG Signorina's boy is Amy Winehouse and he DEALING drugs" followed by 1) "They are totally over-reacting" or 2)"They let him walk all over them and ignored it too long." In my very gray reality he was a good kid who abused substances as a 16yo, got back on track, was physically assaulted his 2nd week of college (last year), nearly lost his sight as a result, and may be suffering from PTSD and/or post concussive syndrome or he could just be a burnout using his injury as an excuse for his amotivation. Or all 3 or none of the above. Honestly, those judgments are my own. I am going in circles... [/QUOTE]
