Thanks for your kind words and your vulnerable sharing.

Just a quick reply. Still wrestling with nose, throat, sinus cold and off to get some more meds and take it more easy. Not sure if I’ll get back to it tonight, or not.

Also, am questioning whether folks would really be interested in my commentary on excerpts from MM’s blogging rants or not—is it worth the effort?

Anyway—Much appreciate your kind reply and learning more about your past.

Blessings,

Take care of yourself. My experience with raising teens came with on the job training. I specialize in geriatrics though. I'm sorry your experience with your grandmother was traumatic but I have noticed that a lot of people that go into health care helped "take care of" a special needs family member during their childhood.

Well, this thread is starting to die out, so your audience might be kinda small. But I'll hang around to read it, and comment on it, if you decide to post.

In the end, I'm still voting for Brain Chemistry, over Mama and Christian acquaintances, as bearing the primary responsibility. Unless you find something in his writings that looks sufficiently convincing.

But ultimately, at the age of 24, the responsibility was his.
