[split] Ethics - parental responsibility re: children

[Ahriman]

You need to see a therapist, perhaps, even going to the nearest emergency room.

Life is still worth living, even if it is not perfect.  Best years or not, if you are alive, you can at least reflect upon those years and relive them through others and your own memories.

Supposedly his mother is a nurse practitioner.  Either she's not very tuned in or this is a narrative for the forum.

It's not a narrative. My mom doesn't know how to help me. She even had me sent off to a very nice mental health resort a few years back. It was a few states away, but she felt like it would be worth it. I ended up staying there only a month and a half, came home, right back to square one.
