V-Grrrl, I understand the cynicism and do believe that power is at the crux of these issues, tightly holding hands with ignorance and fear.

Susan, I am sure you are changing the situation. If we each do our part, the evolution occurs.

I have experienced this very thing with my son. He was bad; we were bad parents; and so on. It is very serious and very sad.

Interestingly, most people in our family support group are religious. Interestingly, they turn to our group before their church because they have been dismissed.

I pray that I can be a small part of changing this situation.

In my more cynical moments, I think it’s all about power. A sick person with a proper diagnosis has a chance to become well and SELF empowered. Someone who is a “sinner” or has “demons” is dependent on their clergy, no?

I saw a sign in front of a church that said “Jesus is my anti-depressant!”

It infuriated me. I wanted to sneak out in the night and put a new sign over it: Prozac Saves!
