[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you look at the explosion of various sexual identities, rampant mental Heath issues including ADHD, depression, Autism and Anxiety, violent crimes including school shootings but too numerous and disturbing to list individually, and think WTF is happening and why?

I am 49 and my husband is in his 50s. One of our kids has autism. Autism is not a mental health issue unless there is something comorbid-it's neurodevelopmental. I do think it is on the rise and I wonder. I think depression, anxiety and ADHD have always been in high numbers and am glad people are getting treated. My mother is verbally and emotionally abusive and when in old age she finally got on meds, she was nicer. I think my grandmas would have different people if they had meds and therapy.

I will admit I thought I was so with it because I always knew there were plenty of people who are gay and I embraced gay marriage and was glad people could come out and be who they are. I have to admit I have a lot to learn about all this transgender stuff and I would lying if I didn't admit I was surprised by the number of kids my kids know who are born female and identify as male. I had no idea this was as common as it seems to be and I have a lot of learn and am a little confused by just how many kids struggle with this.

The school shootings thing is so disturbing and I am so sick of the power of the NRA.[/quote]
