M, may God guide you......my heart just broke reading this......I can't imagine this families pain......I have a grandson that has Treacher-Collins Syndrome (Google it and you'll see what I'm talking about).....He just graduated from HS and was an Advanced Graduate with a scholarship until 6 wks before the school end.....He dropped everything.....from a 3.0 and better grade point average to in danger of not graduating was puzzling and crazy.....He had little to say to anyone including school people + his family, He did finally graduate but lost his scholarship, etc and the party we gave him afterward he was angry, defiant and flat hateful.......there were people including ourselves that came long distances to celebrate with him and it was just plain sad......His mother, our daughter, is a tech in a lockdown facility for adolescents and pre-teens at risk in NV so she is trained to follow this....she is also a single parent trying to hold on to her home so works double shifts and weekends leaving Sean alone alot....way more than should be......his dad is more or less absent except when he wants to be.....quit paying child support and of course now is not obligated since Sean is 18......anyway, I believe Sean knows what awaits him outside of his comfort zone of kids he's grown up with, the ability to hide in his room and be on his computer.....anyway, didn't mean to write a book, just musing about suicide and children that feel they have nowhere to go, pic is of Sean & I graduation day
