[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 745807, member: 18958"] OK. I had forgotten about this. But wasn't this when he was psychotic? I didn't know about this. How novel! I am not being cute here. I will not take this personally.... Let me tell you where I stand with respect to evil. I stand in the same place here as I do with the residential treatment center. And that place is called: What gives you the strongest and most defensible place to stand, the greater range of options and flexibility, as is possible given the circumstances right now. In terms of the Residential Treatment Center (RTC), there is no other option that I know about. Therefore, your interests are served powerfully by having them in the picture. With respect to evil, your interests are NOT served by going there. Evil is in a realm where there is no recourse that I have, at least. Maybe there are exorcisms or other religious interventions that are options for some parents, but in my own life, I would not avail myself of these options...and I do not believe most of the rest of us would go there. So. Personally, I do not think positing evil helps me, or helps most of us...because I cannot think of reasonable and realistic and available responses. To evil. And I want you to have answers, help, support, and flexibility...and most of all, reasonable answers and interventions. Like SWOT describes herself, as a pragmatist, as a realist--I guess I land there too. [/QUOTE]
