[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 751604, member: 21066"] I'm so sorry. His words were very hurtful. I think he has a bigger mental illness than anxiety and PTSD from his dad. I work at the shelter, and there are so many people there with severe untreated mental illness who will never be able to understand why they need treatment in order to work and function in life. Most of them don't even think they are mentally ill and blame everyone else for their predicament. You cannot make them take their medications. The social workers try to counsel them and can work up a plan for them to overcome homelessness, but most of them don't take advantage of these services. It's hard to understand. Half of them won't go to the shelter because there are rules there. many of them are people who don't want to live a conventional life or follow rules. Drugs can be a factor, too. It's mainly mental illness. [/QUOTE]
