[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 545307, member: 1514"] Okay I am going to speak as a mentally ill adult. The number of mentally ill adults that kill people is minuscule compared to the number of so called normal folks who drive drunk and kill people. You just hear about it more. Not all mentally ill people kill people. Most of us would never think of it. I was terrified to even consider that I could have any sort of mental illness when my kids were younger and I refused to look for help. I just did the best I could for years. It wasnt until Cory was 13 years old that I actually got help and that was because I figured the kids were too old for anyone to try to take my kids from me. Who would want to take a 13 and 15 year old into the system? Billy was already 18. I was so terrified of loosing my kids even though deep in my heart I knew there was something wrong. Thankfully I had Tony to balance me out. Being mentally ill isnt easy and people dont understand it at all. Even people who live with us dont get it. Its very lonely. [/QUOTE]
