My ex-husband went bat-***** during our divorce and started irrationally blaming me for everything in his life.
He smoked hashish before we got married, and drank a lot of alcohol and smoked weed during our marriage. But I met a lot of casual marijuana users in my life, and they've always seemed OK, so I didn't think it was a big deal.
I know it sounds naive, but I had never met anyone personally who had a problem w/ addiction. OK marijuana is not addictive...but you get the picture.
Shortly before we got divorced, he got on all this prescribed *****. Sorry for the language, but now I'm scared and upset, because he does know how to use a gun...
Anyway, he got a boatload of "anti-anxiety" and assorted pills from his doctor in Egypt and started to get super angry and crazy. I don't remember the names, though, but I know at least one was addictive.
I personally think people who take these things knowing the side-effects are stupid. But how can these idiots be allowed to put the rest of our lives in danger? WTF I am so upset right now.
Wow, so sorry to hear of this.
The thing is, these drugs are being prescribed to children and young adults who are simply doing as they are told!
Any one person who makes this something political, is sick themselves, damn it. This is the kind of crap we do not need, and at a time like this. Surely don't need this crap.
People always making something politicial, or religious, this is neither, at a time as this, people ought to come together, and realize that our life is so fragile, and that people for whatever reason, are not perfect, not a Republician nor a accusing Democrat.
Believe me these people will grieve, and they will each grieve in their own way, some will get over it more quickly, some will not. To make this something political, is sick in its own right.
Yes and I think it really is time to take a good look at mental illness and options for treatment.
Parents are sometimes overwhelmed with this issue, and the lack of options. They may cover-up problems, they may not seek help because there is no help.
No one would want to bring back the mental institutions of the past where people were warehoused and they were often awful places to live. I also don't believe in locking up innocent people against their will but as a society, there seems more that could be done as far as mental illness. Including of course questioning why we seem to have so much more of it -- and the drugs that go with it.
If his mom hadn't been able to legally purchase semi automatic weapons, would they have been in her home and available to him? Banning all guns isn't going to happen (and shouldn't happen) but semiautomatic weapons make it way too easy for someone to do a huge amount of damage in a very short time. If this kid would have had to stop and reload constantly, he might have killed several people, but there's a good chance that someone would have been able to stop him before he carried out the carnage that he did...
He did stop and reload several times, and I bet there weren't many 5 year old heroes present prepared to stop him
discipline and father was replaced with dope. they call it things like a d d. It would be interesting to know the percentage that were single parent homes
The guns were registered to her, but I bet they were owned by the kid..
Oh yea! Because nothing screams "loving and caring Mom" like buying guns in their own name to give to their sons to use for whatever they deem acceptable.
Wow...congratulations for probably the stupidest post I have ever read on CD.
He was HOME-SCHOOLED! By a GUN NUT! Read the article to see what kind of guns this gal had at her home OMG!
"Marsha also said, however, that Nancy had purchased guns because she was living alone in a big house. Nancy was originally from New Hampshire, said Marsha, and comfortable with weapons"
Another NRA FAIL story. This women should be a poster child for gun control.
If this one incident isn't a catalyst for real gun control, there is no hope for this country.
