Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I second that. In spades. Don't let yourself be defeated by guilt, because you and the rest of the world, other parents and kids, can benefit from your knowing exactly where the guilt lies.

We are not programmed to handle the loss of a child ... like we are for grandparents, parents, other relatives, spouses and friends. With the mood swings your son was expressing, plus his poison ivy .... what reasonable and rational parent would NOT have sought out professional help??? I do NOT agree that you pushed him towards his death... not at all. The professionals failed you and him, so did the drugs. THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU Terry !!!!! With sympathy and compassion....

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Terry, I don't feel guilty about my son. I did what we are told is the right thing to do. I did my part as a good parent. The the medical profession and the drug industry didn't just fail him, they sold him out for a few pieces of gold. I am angry, bitter, cynical and I feel very sorry for him because of what he's been through, but I do not feel guilty. > TERRY - You said: > > On Thu, 30 Dec 2004 07:16:35 -0800 (PST) Bearden > <nandtbearden@y...> writes: > > >>>>> " So, thinking I was doing what I should, > I pushed him toward his death.
