[QUOTE="Dad34, post: 764968, member: 32757"] Hi LMS, those are a lot of questions, but I appreciate your concern. My daughter did well in school, although it was more of a struggle in high school because of her rebelliousness. She graduated from high school (she had great support from the superintendent, principal, and her teachers) and even though she struggled with addiction, went on to eventually graduate from college, and I'm proud of her accomplishments there. She is a bright person and capable of much more than she knows. She loves plants and photography. The only addiction in our family that I am aware of was my grandfather's sister, and I never knew much about that (little was spoken about it by my family). There was mental illness in my grandmother's family, and some on her mother's side as well. I don't know if my daughter has been diagnosed by a psychiatrist, but I know she has seen psychiatrists in her rehab programs as an adult; little information was relayed to me because they couldn't without her permission. She cut herself when she was in high school and later as an adult, while in college, she was on suicide watch one time after she was admitted to a hospital after a drinking binge. Heartbreaking stuff. The fear of suicide is real, and I pray against it constantly. How about your son? Did he graduate and what were his interests? Was he suicidal? I'm so sorry for your loss of him, especially getting killed by an illegal (though it would be hard anyway). 💔 I'm not sure what you mean by anticipation of litigation, but I do understand I should be prepared for the next crisis, at least as much as is possible. It's so hard to know in advance every possibility that might happen. Thanks again for taking the time to respond! [/QUOTE]
