[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 680845, member: 19245"] I think that the title should be short and sweet...parenting teens and adult children with developmental and mental health issues. My thread has a lot of views. I think that is because there is a need to read how others parents have addressed mental illnesses in their children. Yes, most illnesses are not discrete, and embody a group of diagnoses or are on a spectrum. If I try to find out more information on line about addressing my ill son, I am at times bought back to my own thread. It could be vocabulary or rhetoric that was used on a particular post. It fact, that is how I found the site. I typed in 'my adult son is homeless' and I came upon a thread on CD. If I type in 'I had to file restraining order against schizophrenic son' my thread shows up on the possible sites online. It has appeared several times, no matter what I type in...'my son had command hallucinations' or just 'schizophrenic homeless son'. It is brought up by words in the post that fits...rather than a title or forum. Yes, some people shop for sites. But, I think that more Google a phrase or question to be answered. I feel that it needs to have a very straight-forward name, as opposed to, a 'catchy' cute name. Parents need to be able to find and identify it easily. This is just my opinion. Yes, I write IEP's. I have to be extremely specific. There is a great need for a forum that addresses developmental and mental health issues in our adult children. Yes, we often need to approach these children differently. [/QUOTE]
