[QUOTE="totoro, post: 379630, member: 3155"] I know how hard it is to relate to the "easy child" world at times also. You are having to deal with this on top of the murder as well. It always makes me stop and think about how I would feel and how I SHOULD react and treat another. Obviously she has limited space to be open minded towards all involved and the events that led up to this. Unfortunately this is how most of our society treats Mentally Ill people. My Uncle spent most of his life in prison or a half-way house- no one ever thought to actually help him with Psychiatric care. He had a below average IQ and was Mentally Ill as well as a drug addict. They just kept throwing him back in prison. He eventually died from a dirty needle which led to sepsis, in prison. No one had any sympathy for him- he did it to himself. He was just a stupid drug addict was how everyone felt. As I got older I started seeing how wrong his death was. How it could have been prevented- how lucky we were that he didn't do something worse than just breaking into homes and robbing people... I have very few "perfect" friends anymore either! LOL It sounds like you are and would be a much better friend than she ever could be. [/QUOTE]
