Your comment makes it so clear that you do not understand addiction. Addiction is an illness. No one chooses to be an addict, and it is not as simple as an individual "choosing to do/not to do drugs." It is well meaning questions like yours that make me realize how much people in this country do not understand…

This is a valid point. I admit find the whole situation terribly terribly sad.

I'm at a loss for words. Truly no words. Just, tears of rage.

I weep for my children.

So based on your logic, it is ok to shoot and kill someone if you feel threatened. Hmmm. Seems to me that this is a bit of a double-standard; after all if Martin felt threatened, based on your logic, he too would have had the right to defend himself.

Perhaps the concept of self defense is lost on you. He was pounding his head into the pavement because Zimmerman stalked him even as police told him to walk away. I'm sorry, but if a strange man started following you, taunting you, and calling you names would you not defend yourself?

So Michael Vick gets prison time for killing a dog, but Zimmerman walks for killing an un-armed teenager? I'm done.

I'm dead.

The only thing that upset me was how badly you and your sisters were treated. (and are still treated, I should note) I truly appreciated your story; you provided incredible insight as to how things are as the child of someone with a mental illness. Your story reminded me that even though I suffer from the beast that…

I read your story today and it brought tears to my eyes. I did not realize from your first post how abusive and cruel your mother truly is. While I struggle both depression and anxiety, I know I am not abusive, or neglectful. I still worry, though and perhaps that's ok. It reminds me to evaluate my behavior and to…

I read your post and have been thinking about it for days although from a different perspective. I am a mother of small children and I have struggled with depression and anxiety since my teens. My BIGGEST fear is that my children will grow to hate and resent me as a result of this illness. I adore my children and I…

Thank you...and thank you for taking the time to write to me.

Did anyone else happen to read about Texas State Rep. Jodie Laubenberg (R), and her absurd and baffling "pro-life" ideology? Ms. Laubenberg has always taken the position that life begins at conception, and therefore cannot be terminated. Business as usual for the GOP right? Maybe not. Things became very interesting…

I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to respond. Sometimes all it takes is a few kind words. So, thank you.

I can see it...But I'm not sure why they are taking so long to post...

I have pointed out his weight gain, and he becomes defensive...saying he doesn't have time...he works too much...yada yada yada....So yeah....
