As the Unipolar father of full-fledged Bipolar, I find the eratic discussion of the evil young man in Connecticut to be gross and appalling. The young man was mental health problem from early age and the parents tried to cover it up. They did what many parents do with mental health problems, they give up on the lack of help on the outside and they self-diagnose and try to make it on their own. The father obviouslt could not take it any longer, so he hit the road. Where are the media inquiries concerning his position? What did he know? How early did the sone display his tragic gene pool? Was the mother ever seeking help? Where did she go? Who came up with the lame Aspergers diagnosis? Where are the medical professionals in all this? Where is the federal government? Why does the media keep the spotlight on the tragic outcome and not work to uncover the problems that led to this tragedy?
There will be a lot of discussion in the moinths to come. The media agenda already has switched to the Fiscal Cliff. What a short attention span. I invite anyone to also comment on my blog - http://mrjimbipolardad.blogspot.com - or send a comment to Twitter.com/PostmasterJim
