[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 619231, member: 1550"] Most of our kids have co-morbid mental illness besides using drugs. In fact it is very common for the mentally ill to self-medicate. However, being mentally ill is no excuse for being cruel, violent or criminal. He is not so mentally ill that he is out of touch with reality. He knows what he is doing. Also, sometimes it is hard or impossible to seperate the two. My daughter acted bipolar while using drugs so she got the diagnosis. She has been clean for years now and is clearly not bipolar or even mentally unstable. It was the drugs that made her seem that way. That may not be the case with your son, but it isn't that uncommon. Most of us have one defining moment when we can no longer deny what our kids are doing. It is then that we finally have to make tough decisions about what to do about it. Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
