Ok, my foster brother was recently put back in a mental hospital because of last weekend he attacked everyone in the house. First time he just tore up the house and my foster parents took him back. But this time he went upon violence towards everyone in the house. I was told, because I was asleep at the time, That it was over a toddler wanting Mountain Dew to drink. Then I learned that him and his girlfriend were arguing earlier that day. He also had school problems that I think may have led to this sudden attack. The other thing is, Denzel, my foster brother, was about to be adopted by our foster parents and he really didn't have a family. His family has never been around for him and plus, they abandoned him. Me, from a personal standpoint, that sounds like he is kind of scared of having a family, like he doesn't know how to take having a real Mom and Dad. Also like he is not used to it. He is used to bouncing around from home to home, not staying in one like he has this one. The other thing is, he can be a really good kid. He can be trustworthy, and just like a brother to anyone. Then he has these random moments where no one and nothing matters. I know that deep inside him, that everything does matter to him alot. He can, and I know that he has the poitential to be a great person and make something of himself. I really don't know what gets in his mind sometimes. My point with this one is this, Whats your opinion on what would cause such a great kid to go so low like this? What contributes to it? Could you ever forgive someone if you knew that they really didn't mean for everyone to suffer? If Not, Then Why? Thank you. I really needed to get this off my chest.

The more unconscious of one's action I think it's more easy to forgive. In fact in september last year I made the decision to forgive even though there was preatty much conscience in these people acts, I think being angry is bad for those who carry this feeling. I feel lighter since 9/2010

Maybe like you said, his just not use to having real parents around. I guess in some point his afraid of being controlled.
