[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 308464, member: 84"] gvc Mom in my personal opinion, there is no real difference in mental illness and evil deviance except for one very important thing.......evil devience there is no hope of getting better and you are a extreme threat to the public at large. Probably a bit more to it but it comes across more in feelings than in words. There is very real evil in the world. It appears the Mom did attempt to help her son. I don't think it's fair for the public to cast judgement on whether or not she did enough. All of us only can do what we know to do at the time. When I was a little girl we had a neighbor lady, real nice lady. I was very little, but she stands out in my memory because of her severely mentally ill son. She struggled to handle a child that was a very real threat to the public, while he attempted to kill her, burn down their house......I could go on forever here........she even took him out of school because it was simply too dangerous for him to go. He was in and out of the state psychiatric hospital. My Mom spent alot of time over there helping her with her son. My most vivid memory was of the Mom (and I can still recall her name although I might have been 4 at the time) sitting at our kitchen table and sobbing because nothing anyone was doing was making the slightest bit of difference. The psychiatric hospital kept sending him home when she'd beg them not to because she was always in fear he'd kill someone.......Just horrid. And he did. He was about 14 at the time. It was ugly and it was brutal....and although Mom kept the details from us...........I know that the neighbor lady was so beside herself Mom kept in constant contact with her for fear she'd commit suicide until she eventually moved away. But I do remember one conversation she had with my Mom. She was talking about her son's Dad.......how she believed him to be pure evil. And that despite her best efforts........her son was a carbon copy of the Dad, even though Dad had left them when he was a baby. She believed there was evil in the world. Most likely Dad and son had a severe form of mental illness. But sometimes.........you just have to look pure evil in the face and take it for what it is. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
