[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 683684, member: 13561"] Lil, I am pretty open about my DCs difficulties, too, but have definitely toned it down over the years. Most people who know me know that he's homeless, mentally ill, addicted. I want people to know that there are others among them whose parent/parents are getting up out of bed every day, putting pants on one leg at a time and one foot in front of the other, despite their pain. And they're even HAPPY and make jokes and eat too much cake and do the things that everyone else does...because WE are survivors, too! We are resilient and strong! And that these homeless, mentally ill addicts are PEOPLE too, who have families and loved ones and deserve help and compassion (even if I want to throatpunch my own kid a lot of the time...or tear my own hair out-how am I not bald by now?)
