So we should feel sorry for a drug addict women basher??

I’d rather feel sorry for his victims thanks very much.

I expecting you to do anything. That's not what I posted and I am confused why you said what you said.

I am pointing out how controlling addiction is and it is playing out publicly for all to see, in the downwards spiral of his life. A tragic slow moving train wreck, that is leaving carnage all around him.

I don't think addiction is am excuse.
Grown adults know drugs are dangerous and take that risk when consuming for the first, 2nd or whatever time.
I agree it alters the mind. Just like some people should drink. I know plenty of people who are peanuts on the piss

Lot's of people are different and agree some people are more susceptible than others BUT meth is the most addictive drug of our time.

It's pretty clear that he's a junky and on the downhill. I hope something good happens for him soon.

Isn't this the mental health thread?
Shouldn't we be trying to understand what leads to mental health issues?
All Gronk is saying is that addiction is a major issue.
Either caused by or as a result of.
Calling people pieces of shit does not move the discussion forward.
At the same time, I am in no way defending any of his actions in the past. He has done heaps of dumb shit, some of it deplorable.
The magistrate said today exactly what @Incorrect just stated. He needs to be locked up for his own good, because giving him chances and putting him through rehab just hasn't worked.

I'm struggling, at the moment.

Little man - who is a beautiful boy of 4, on the ASD spectrum - is lashing out at daycare, and is close to being asked to leave daycare.

He is insisting I either sit on a chair in his room all night, or that he sleep in my bed.

I'm getting 4 hours of sleep a night - on a good night.

I keep thinking, "When will things give me a break?"

I can't keep getting 4 hours of sleep a night - I'm totally wrecked.

Really tough mate. Can the NDIS help you in any way ?

This is my expertise. It’s a complex beast and the Feds are trying to hand responsibility for childhood ASD supports back to the states. @Eelementary needs rest first and foremost so he can be there as best as he can for his family.

This is a really important point.
I sincerely hope that Eele has support elsewhere.
Even us here can help.
I've got no work atm so I'd be happy to catch up with you @Eelementary just for a coffee and a chat if it would help.
I've been through some seriously tough shit as well which I'd be happy to open up to you about, so we could share our experiences and chat about stuff.
Just PM me if you are available at any time.
Just for the record and I'd like to repeat it, some of the comments on here do nothing to understand or assist those going through mental health issues.

My Father inlaw had Depression issues.
He would walk around talking to himself. He would slap his thighs and complain about his legs aching
He lost a lot of weight where I thought he had some form of cancer.
In turned out he had a chemical imbalance in his brain.
After Psychiatrist got his medication correct he returned to his old self.
As long as he stayed on his medication he was OK.
Depression also runs in his family.

I also know someone who has gone through shock therapy within the last couple of years because their depression was that bad.

That's sad to hear. ☹️
