Title: New documentary: A Dangerous Son
Post by: Hyacinth Bucket on May 14, 2018, 08:35:48 AM
I just read this article, I haven't seen the film yet:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sanity-over-success/201805/dangerous-son-why-we-shared-our-story

It sounds like something a lot of us can relate to, even if our children aren't violent. It discusses the extreme difficulty in finding help for both mentally ill kids and the struggles their parents face. Its purpose is to help destigmatize mental illness and open a national conversation about treatment (in the US).

Hi Hyacinth Bucket 
Thank you for recommending this.  I watched the film this morning and it was definitely worthwhile.   It is especially good for those of us (usually but not always mothers) who blame ourselves or think we did something wrong to cause our children's problems.   Although intellectually, I know it is not technically my fault I, like so many parents on this forum can't stop feeling guilt.  Scout206
