Wow, I actually forgot about this blog. Quite a bit of serious personal stuff on here. I don't think I've visited this site since 2006 but tonight I got a comment on an old post.

I feel the need to update briefly.

This blog was created to help me vent/cope about a grave situation my son was in. He was diagnosed with a very serious mental disorder by THE MENNINGER CLINIC of HOUSTON. Considered one of the best places in the country. Come to find out THEY WERE WRONG.

It's been two years my son quit taking the pills they gave him within a month of leaving Meninngers. Menningers told me that if he didn't continue the pills he would either die, end up in a mental institution or be in jail. NONE of that has happened. Let me tell you what HAS happened in the last two years since IGNORING Menningers PROFESSIONAL help. My son has gotten his drivers liscense. He has gotten a job and maintained it. He has graduated "with honors" from high school. He has maintained a relationship with his girlfriend for 1.5 years. They recently mutually decided to break ties considering he was going to be going to college in Madison. He is now in college. He is now living on his own in his own apartment. He has gotten a new job. And, lastly but certainly the most important, he is healthy, happy and KNOWS HE'S NORMAL AND THAT MENNINGERS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT.

I could have made this post so long but the effect this has had on myself and my family is far deeper than anyone could understand.

Anyway, I just figured if someone was reading this blog they would want to know what ever happened to my son.

Oh, and one last thing. Menninger was suppose to call us for a 6 month follow up report once he left. They never bothered so they don't know and I would assume by their follow up care they DON'T care either. They already got their 200,000.00

I promise my other posts won't be so hostile. lol
