another friend of the family, his father was our family doctor, guy was much older than me, about 20, same thing. he was a hippy type kid, poet, musician and into drugs and acting more and more bizarre. Acid triggered his mental illness to get much worse - friends of his found him sitting in his backyard pounding his his head with rocks. Then they went out with him one night to a bar about an hour away - on the way he opened the car door at full speed and tried to jump out, luckily somebody noticed and pulled him back in.
anyway the worst happened not long after that - i remember this day even though i was 6 years old at most. My mom was acting very strange and sad, think she was crying, so i knew something was wrong, my Dad wasn't home either, he was a lawyer - the guy had dropped out of college and was living at home with his parents, my Mom was good friends with the mom, the mom went to the hair dresser, she came home, opened the door and there was her son, with a chisel - he took his mother's head off, decapitated her in the most brutal way imagineable, my father was called because he was the family's lawyer - the son after beheading his mother with a chisel went to his bedroom, took a knife and sliced his penis off - then jumped through the second floor bedroom window where they found him. He loved his mother, he believed this world was a horrible place and he was saving her from it.
He was of course found criminally insane and sent to a prison for the mentally insane. He's still there and this is 30 years later.
what a horrible thing for a family to live through - but ya know, it also shows what family is all about, his father and brother and sister did not abandon him, they didn't blame him, he was and still is very sick, his father went to visit him all the time and hoped he would someday get well enough to get out. Never happened, father is dead now for quite some time.
Mental illnesses are brutal - i would doubt that anybody on this board doesn't have somebody in the family or close friend without one.
