[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 401280, member: 1233"] Good points made. When you speak to easy child about it, stress the transparency that Marg brought up. It is an excellent point and agreat way to judge if something is or has happened that shouldn't - other's actions and your own. The young man I spoke about is bipolar. I forgot to type that in. His sister cannot function on or off medications, but he is okay when on them. The whole religious extremes, esp when you mentioned that he will do what God wants but cannot really say what he things or feels, sounds exactly like what this young man is like. It is also what my exSIL (who is bipolar) says and thinks. The parents need to know because they may think all was great on the trip - the kids may not know how to tell them the truth or may not want to upset them. They may think he was really doing awesomely at that time. The car and plane ticket screams drugs to me. Not because I am a locked up abroad fan, but because almost everyone I know hwo is bipolar with that religious bent also self medicates with drugs and alcohol. They don't seem to have the ability to keep from getting in too deep or backed into a corner or to keep from falling prey to some twisted logic about God being okay with drugs and wanting them to do whatever that involves drugs. Most of these arguments center around the drugs come from plants and God made all the plants and so they are always good. Man's law that says drugs are bad are influenced greatly by Satan so by doing whatever with drugs you are striking a blow against Satan and honoring God and his laws. Yes, I know a LOT of people who have truly believed this. NOT people that know each other or even live in the same state. They are easy prey, sadly. [/QUOTE]
