Actually it is. As a parent, you spend your time trying to find the magic bean that will cure your kid. You worry beyond belief if they are home even five minutes late. You watch them lay in bed for days not moving even to eat or go to the bathroom because their depression is so heavy that they can’t move. You get called by the school so often that every time your phone rings you want to vomit and cry. You rush to the school or the hospital everytime they try and thank the Lord this time they weren’t successful. You live with the medical consequences of the attempts and that to the endless list of what you are doing to try to keep your child safe and your family running. You take a picture every time your child leaves the house so you can give the description for the BOLO and Amber alert. You deal with the physical and emotional scars of their violence and you spend your money on repairing walls, doors and everything else that gets destroyed by their rages.

It is about those of us who parent these kids and the other family members who live with them. We can’t control it or fix it but we have to live with the consequences sequences and pick up the pieces. [/quote]
