I'm with you on option two! Blood and unusual circumstances make it essential Lauren get your support and the very best legal counsel available....IF she ever acted on her 'roid rage! My son is on steroids for his affliction, on occasion and he does a mean impression of a serial killer---everything but the bodies!--Karenina

I rationalize that my daughter would have had a mitigating factor for her rage; how convenient for me to construe an excuse when it's MY daughter.
Re your son: hold off on the bodies!
Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Liz
I watched that movie last fall. It was 2018 movie, (a DVD you found).
The parents tried to protect their daughter from the crime. Would you really have turned your daughter in? I don't think we could make that decision unless it happened to us. There was some great acting in the show. As it turned out, the murder was all a ruse. The best friends planned it all out so that Britney could see her boyfriend. But in so doing, the fallout, Britney's father ended up murdered for real by Kayla's mother. She hit him with the car, and let him bleed to death. Such needless stress on the parents because the kids didn't think the crime all the way through.
Hugs,
Kimbob

Thanks for the synopsis! Never would have guessed the double twist!
Comment from w.j.debi
No brainer indeed. You are a good mother in my book. Facing the consequences is always better than worrying about getting caught for the rest of your life.
Sorry to hear of your daughter's condition. That has to be a challenge for both of you. My heart goes out to you.

Comment from Jasmine Girl
I'm so sorry about your daughter. It is so not fun for you but she is your daughter so the feeling is conflicted. I can understand "Walking to the lawyer," but can't "walking to the nearest precinct".
Well done.

Precinct as in police station==I wanted to make it terse so I chose to use an unmodified noun. Thanks for dropping by Lisa. Cheers. LIZ
Comment from Loren .
This is what writers do. They take the most innocuous situation or the most difficult and horrible and turn it into a narrative or story that makes it plausible and shows how we are all in some way related to the the different fates that face us all. Loren

Thanks for stopping by Loren.
(I had wanted to spell my daughter's name your way but got badgered out of it.)

Comment from muffinmama
Wow, where to begin!
First, the information in this post blew me away. I don't know much about these types of drugs, and it always pays to know. The horrific side effects are frightening. I hope that everyone in law enforcement is well-versed on the symptoms.
Secondly, I was so impressed by the honesty in this piece. Until it becomes personal, we all think that our actions would be informed by integrity and high values.
I once had a conversation with an aunt about whether we should negotiate with plane hijackers (it was those days when no plane was safe from the international terrorists). She said absolutely not. So I asked what if one of her sons was on the plane. She said, oh absolutely, give them whatever they want.
Really well done!

SSSSSSurprise much appreciated--even more so your eloquent reflections.
So true--I rationalize that my daughter would have had a mitigating factor for her rage; how convenient for me to construe an excuse when it's MY daughter.

We all rationalize when it comes to our children. Except my father. He always assumed me guilty - LOL
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
What an awful reaction to the meds that are supposed to help her, right? I commend you for your determination to not let you or anyone else take the easy way out. Hard as it may be, you would do the right thing--unlike the ones in the movie.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from judiverse
The situation becomes different when it's your own child. I watched a TV show last night about a man who was trying to protect his son from the consequences of something he'd done, even paying blackmail to keep the truth from coming out. The son doesn't appreciate his father trying to protect him and wants to go to the police. It's not an easy situation. I'm glad your daughter found a book that interests her. judi

Oops, your daughter must be in a lot of pain if she is on the killing rampage for any tiny little bit of extraordinary. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Comment from Judy Lawless
Firstly, I'm sorry that your daughter is going through all of this. Mothering never stops, even if for some reason our kids have done something that we would deem unforgiveable in someone else's child. You've expressed this very well.
