[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2020574, member: 1242"] Not trying to pick an argument with you, because I understand exactly what you are saying, but it could be as simple as she didn't know he needed help. It may be she lacked the education to see the warning signs, or it may be that he was skilled enough to hide the true nature of his illness until it just got to be too much to bear. Look at all the serial killers out there who folks thought were "perfectly normal" folks ... And then, again, there is the whole family dynamic thing. I haven't seen any of the newscasts or talk shows since the day of the shootings (I've had all I can take :( ) but it is easy for folks closest to those who are mentally ill to really not see the severity of the illness (or how it might be progressing from mild to severe) because they become "numb" to the signals. It's easy to say "Oh, well ... that's just so-and-so ... they've always been different ..." [/QUOTE]
