[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 47196, member: 696"] RM, I know and feel very much the same. I just can't say it as eloquently as you did. I don't think in the near future there will be a viable solution to this mess. There have been countless articles in our newspaper on the budgets of the judicial system and the drain that the mentally ill are causing. Then our legislature is not allocating enough to cover the costs. It trickles down to inappropriate or non existant medication being administered and people waiting in cells for months until beds are available in a treatment center. Now that FL has found some $$ and created some beds. In 6mo to a year, will those people become stabilized and mainstreamed back into the prison system? will there be enough $$ to adequately maintain them on the current medication regime? When I went to the NAMI Parent to Parent class, they did educate that mental illness does stabilize itself. I just don't think that happens until our difficult child's are older. so yes...they will be the ones who will suffer. in my humble opinion, I do think you need to get yourself as healthy as you can and then and only then can you even attempt to try and change a system. Personally...I don't have the energy. [/QUOTE]
