[QUOTE="1905, post: 635536, member: 2668"] I have a friend who works in a group hope for people who have mental illness. These people are functional, they have jobs. A man once had a fit of rage and tore the railing out of the wall. She filed a police report and he had to go to court. My point is, just because a person has a mental illness that doesn't excuse them. That doesn't automatically qualify them for a free pass on life. Those people shouldn't lower their expectations for their loved one. If anything, the opposite is true. You were totally in the right. I work with learning disabled children, it would be easy on all of us if I thought these kids are behind the 8 ball, so lets leave them there. Heck no, we bust our tail every day helping these kids to get where they need to be, we have high expectations for them, they need more help, maybe some will never get there all the way, but we never stop. You were trying to help them, ignorance is bliss for some. [/QUOTE]
