'I Am Adam Lanza's Mother': A Mom's Perspective On The Mental Illness Conversation In America

yeah, overcontrolling bitch manipulated him into making threats and that scene where she changes course and takes him to the mental hospital, what a psycho. She's the one with the mental illness.

You will have to wait for me to read it tomorrow on my ipad.
I only visit huffingtonpost when I'm takin a shit. How's that for mental health. Try it, it's cleansing.

you don't get it. and you are part of the problem.

Huffpoo. yeah.

I could say the same of you.

It's Huffington poo for chrissake, you know it's all middle class bullshit.

you could.

so?

do you have children?
if one threatened to jump out of a moving car and injuring themselves, and you knew that they would do it, all because of their insistence on breaking a rule at school, what would you do? or if your child is willing to injure themselves and others simply because they don't get their way on even the meaningless things in life?

you don't get it. and unless you walk a mile in the mocassins, you will continue to think that it's the mother's fault. it's terrifying. and nobody does anything to help.

all they want to do is point blaming fingers.

you haven't a clue.

I read the whole thing. FINALLY, someone gets it. Someone understands the actual problem.

that's a ery nice idea,however last year of our 2 mental hospitals,one was closed down,doubleing the patient quota for the one left,they sneakily added to some randon file at the bottom,shuttting 40% more beds,they leave the psychotics running around very dangerous,hoping police will jail them,as they take too long for the meds to work properly,and lots of staff work and hassle for their shiny new BUISSENESS.unless a psychotic still has a loving family to insist the hsp. helps,or has a lawyer,lose all hope.police are furious it's all left to them.

Yeah we all need to understand Huff Poo is bullshit and not all women are cut out for motherhood.

When young men go crazy and they have guns, it should not come as a complete mystery why massacres happen. ... This time, I think more Americans believe it's time to act.

^^^^^^^^^

Take guns out of that response and you've got it. Anything can be a weapon in the mind of a delusional genius. It's not that hard to learn how to make a bomb out of average household materials. It also doesn't take a lot of effort to kill someone without a gun.

I know it may be difficult to imagine, but a world without guns is not going to be a world without death and killing rampages.

most parents dont want their kids doped up on crazy pills.

more finger pointing and blame.

and ignorance.

the nazi regime wants your kids now.

For this reason it is important to eliminate weapons.


So how do you propose we defend ourselves from mentally ill people wielding a weapon and threatening our families.
I guess it's "easier" to get rid of weapons, next we can get rid of free speech and religious freedom.

and obviously most men should keep better track of their dicks.
but society still has to deal with the babies already born. and we can be supportive and help those who need it.
or we can blame and point fingers....and then end up with them shooting little kids in the classroom.

Thanks for sharing the article, while I do not doubt the humble nature of the mother who was willing to speak about the much belittled subject of mental illness, it's quite sad that mother doesn't seem to understand that the problem is in the society and the environment and not so much with the kid.

The mother seems to be out of options and has really no clue what so ever what she is dealing with, so her initial reaction is that of giving him medicine to deal with his chemical imbalance in his head, and this only further fucks the kid up.
Giving kid medicines that

The kid as bright as he appears to be is growing in world that is deceptively beautiful, but cunningly deadly and full of misery and suffering, something that ADULTS doesn't seem to recognize or just plainly deny, instead of realizing they live in the world build upon lies and deception, they do anything to force this sick reality upon their own child.

Most of these so called "mentally ill" kids are just hyper-sensitive to all the bullshit that is going around them, and they also react to it much more harshly once forced upon them, they have within them intuitive knowledge that something is really wrong with the world, and once being unable to accept the fucked up reality what grown up people do is suggest medicating them with pills and medicines, and this is where things really start to take much more disturbing nature.

I have seen what mental medicines can do for most innocent and sweet person, and any parent who is willing to put their kid on medicines, show how irresponsible and ignorant they are.


so now the parents cant medicate thier sick child,so they should throw them in a cage and forget about them.Last time I checked that was illegal too.What do you suggest expert? Heal my child man of god cuz you know how to handle it better than the world of doctors mr expert. Tell me what should we do? God forbid we should take the instruments of destruction away (guns) that would be bad for all the folks out there who play nice with guns cuz you know having a gun keeps you safe just ask the 20 yr old whose mother owned a lot of guns.I suppose I shouldnt give my diabetic child insulin either right because YOU know all what a farce.

I'm saying that the drugs are the problem. I am not finger pointing anybody.

And ignorance? Are you talking to me? If so, would you please clarify?

Shheeesh.

Between two people with the gun always wins who shoots first!

a sick child is still a sweet and innocent beautiful perfectly created person.

if the child has diabetes, nobody goes nuts over insulin.

not all medicine is bad or evil.

what is evil is not finding the core issues and throwing lots of medication at something they don't first understand.

then... what makes it even more difficult is when the doctors understand the problem but don't know how to treat it.

giving medicine to a sick child is a loving thing.

any person that has a mentally ill family member, child or otherwise, that is prone to violent outbursts in the home, has guns laying around, is an idiot.


medicine is God's idea.
abusing medicine is not.
using medicine to discipline a child is not.
over medicating is not.

it is a tangled constellation of issues we face today.

This is what I was thinking about when I agreed with the poster's comment about the drugs......

Anti-depressant drugs and teens DO NOT GO together. It's destructive on many levels. I'm not saying I know what the answer is, but drugs are not the answer to teen problems.

Thread: CALL TO ACTION: List Of School Shootings Known To Be Linked To SSRIs

We look at the impact mental illness can have on families. Fear, sorrow, frustration and guilt all can afflict the loved ones of a mentally ill person. Yet families are often the main support for people affected by mental illness. The majority of the public is unaware of how many mentally ill people they know and encounter every day.
Recognizing Warning Signs and How to Cope. Most people believe that mental disorders are rare and “happen to someone else .
Family is the best support system a mentally ill person can have, an expert says.

Yes. But one thing you can't deny is that almost all of these school shooters are on some sort of SSRI. As far as statistics go. That seems pretty concrete to me.

I am Adam Lanza's mother. My husband is a homosexual pervert who raped my son.

I am Jason Holmes Mother. My Husband was a gay creep.

I am Jared Loughner's mother, my husband was a gay pedo.

Yes. But one thing you can't deny is that almost all of these school shooters are on some sort of SSRI. As far as statistics go. That seems pretty concrete to me.


the one thing in common is all of the school shooters had a mental illness.

It seems to me that mental illness in children is a fairly recent phenomenon. Not only did we not have names for these conditions, ADD, autism, Aspergers, etc., I don't recall ever hearing of any children exhibiting those types of behaviors.

Is my perspective incorrect? Does anyone know of a link that addresses the history of childhood mental illness in the US?

Also, it seems that the percentage of boys suffering with these issues is far greater than the percentage of girls. Is anyone aware of data on this subject?

Thanks.

the advances in liberal attitudes as well as consumerism's hypnotic spell, and modern conveniences/technologies that provide instant gratification has taught parents to enable an entitlement attitude in our children.

You have a solution to stop these massacres weapons?
