I have taken one of my kids to the ER after taking a bunch of OTC meds; enough to have do serious liver damage possibly leading to death if he hadn't come to his senses and woke me up. Another time I was waken my the police pounding on my door; he had been in a chat and expressed some suicidal thoughts and then gone silent. I have never been so scared in my life as I was running up the stairs to his room. He had fallen asleep.

My biggest fear is losing a child to a MH problem that is quite likely genetic and from my side of the family.

My biggest fear for me personally is accidental overdose.
