Trying to "point out that he was over his head" is one thing, but a few of you are making excuses for his lack of taking responsibility for his children.
If you think he acted responsibly, or even to the best of his abiility, that is your right, and I'll not waste words repeating the evidence that by now should have convinced you otherwise. I only hope others who find themselves in such a situation wont find those excuses to be legitimate.

"( just because he is a little different does that make him wrong?)."

Before I draw any conclusions about where you are coming from, I will assume that you are unaware of just how "different" we are talking here. I'd wager that if you look a little deeper, you'll be less willing to make excuses for him. : )

I am sure he will look very bad (The mental health folk have to CYA too ya know!) I will also say that most people involved in something like this do irrational things because they are dealing with an irrational person. I would also say that most anyone that is dealing with a suicidal person cringes at the thought of having their lives put to scrutiny . These people endure enourmous stresses that bring out the best and worse in them. After the fact if one only puts the worse on trial it would be very shameful for most everyone.
