Ya, i'd agree that that is the worst thing one may do. I have learned that most people become that way by outside forces, societal pressures. It's no secret that we have a sick society. We overindulge our children (and our pets, and...), with the best of intentions, trying our best to 'shield' them from the world, and then wonder why they can't function in the world. It's some failure of "Raise a child up in the way he should go..." obviously, but i doubt i would do any better lol. I can say that I was over-indulged as a kid; thought of chores as 'punishment,' etc...
Both brothers, I think have an incapacity to connect actions with consequences. This was noticed in both of them from a very young age, but back then, nothing was done. It has just progressed with the addition of addictions on top of it.

It's called "tough love", and it is indeed extremely tough. It is hard on families to just let their loved ones disintegrate, hurting themselves, and others. Sometimes tough love works, sometimes it doesn't. We must be brave enough to put them in the hands of the Lord. I do think that jail time can help someone in this kind of situation, but, it can also make them much worse, and more dangerous. We have a nephew in this situation, jail time has caused him to become more hard, more dangerous, and more of a threat to the general public. He should be locked up, and the key thrown away, instead, he is getting out in October
Lock your doors!

hmm, Asperger's is tough...i just recently discovered that i am quite autistic...to be fair, I had already accepted Christ, and chose to please myself in that time, so...perhaps my '40 years...' maybe the same for them.

How did you discover you were autistic?

We all took this one in my house. My husband is neurotypical, my daughter and I have both asperger and neurotypical traits and my son is way over into asperger.
