[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 724536, member: 1550"] Mentally ill people rarely kill others. Sorry, that is an untrue statement and, being one with a mood disorder, I have lived it and done the research. More often it is personality disordered people who MAY kill (even most of them do not)...those without a conscience who stand to gain from a death. They are risky people. Cluster B personality disorders....Borderline, Narcicism and Antisocials can kill. Bipolar/depression no. Sorry. I know we want to blame our kids behavior on common treatable mental illnesses, but it's not a fact. One could call personality disorders mental illness, but they are personality flaws as well...a lack of empathy...and not yet treatable. I have spent my life in the mental health community, especially with those with mood disorders, and not one even spoke of killing anyone but himself. I don't think it is common for any troubled kid to kill. Maybe on drugs they get violent on drug fueled impulse, but poisening a parents food is premeditated. It is psychopathic. Most people don't even consider this. For that reason, please stay safe. Do not normalize this or say it is due to a bad mood. Manic behavior is irresponsible, eurphoric behavior...one does not have the attention span when manic to plot anything deadly. I fear for you. Other traits of psychopathy are a lack of conscience, no guilt at stealing and sneaky crimes for their gain. Many do white collar scams. Many use drugs which make them worse. Never ever think it is normal adult kid behavior to try to seriously harm you. And I would keep this daughter out of the home so the damage is minimized and eat with her only in restaurants. Don't share food or drink with her even there. Therapy could help you and husband cope with these heartbreaking issues. Trust me, I am very sad that you have to deal with something this awful. But this is a big step beyond what most of us are dealing with. You probably need to take measures to not only protect your health but also your assets. I wish you the best in this difficult situation. Do not make it a small issue. Keep your eyes wide open. Please. [/QUOTE]
