[QUOTE="savior no more, post: 682490, member: 19838"] Thanks for sharing this. I appreciate your honesty and you giving an adult voice to the struggles that I have witnessed my son have his whole life. I like how you related that you had ways to live and survive that gave you a meaningful existence. I wonder if our society isn't so focused on achieving and acquiring that we don't know much about being. What I have come to experience in my job is that we are all humans with value and that most people just want to be acknowledged for their existence - not their achievements (thought it's nice). I guess because of this I become very verbal when people make judgements about people and their behavior. Recently an older man I knew posted on FB that Johnny Manziel (football player from Texas who obviously is struggling with mental health and substance abuse) was a sorry, no-good person.I had to reply that so-called "perfect" people one day could have a stroke or dementia and do all sorts of unacceptable or weird behavior after living a model life. It's no wonder I love working on the stroke/neuro floor in the hospital. [/QUOTE]
