I Am Adam Lanza's Mother Analysis

In the blog "I Am Adam Lanza's Mother: A Mom's Perspective On The Mental Illness Conversation In America" written by Liza Long, a mother who struggles with her 13 year-old son Michael who has a mental illness. Liza writes her experience as a mother who deals with her son's behavior whom acts brutal and uses offensive words towards her along with threatening her. She writes about different events like the Sandy Hook shooting, a 20-year-old guy who committed a massive murderous attack in an elementary school and she relates this to what she is going through now and fears it could be her son. One-day Long asked her son to return his overdue books to the library and little did she know his reaction was horrendous, he had pulled out a knife and threatened to kill her and himself. This is a really difficult situation for Long because he tends to apologize for his behavior and often seems remorseful but continues to act in angry manner. Although after several times of apologies she gets to a point where she just doesn't believe him and takes action in the situation.
She tried every option but nothing seemed to work. She had enough of his bad behavior and warned him that if he ever curses and acts the way he acted the time of the knife incident, she would take him to the mental hospital. A few weeks after the the knife incident he threatened to kill himself by jumping out the car so she took him to a hospital and called the the police to help her out. Her son was put in a mental institute where she calls almost constantly to check up on him. By the third day her son was more calm and getting better but she didn't believe his promises and
