[QUOTE="Night Owl Mama, post: 692981, member: 20490"] Thank you for posting Jmom. The more I read these stories, the more convinced that addiction and untreated mental illness pretty much produce the same results in our kids. I have often felt my son was addicted in a way, to rage. His behavior is strikingly similar to my brother's who was an addict from age 15. I am thankful that so far my son has not chosen the path of drugs and alcohol,but the path he is on is destroying him nonetheless. Off his medications, he is completely irrational. His brain and thinking is muddled. It breaks my heart that he would choose to be that way. He says he doesn't want to be that way, but he does not make his mental health a priority and we all suffer. At least out of our home he bears the full brunt of it. Society won't be as kind and understanding as we have been. [/QUOTE]
