Family murders should be a different thread.

You all don't have idea of what it might be! Terrible situation. RIP father.
I'm sure parents have tried to help. There are too many cases like this when teen gets depressed, stops going to school, shut himself out of society and parents have to bare the situation.
It is very, very difficult to turn things around - no mechanisms for help to the parents and the young people suffering from mental disorders. They may look totally normal most of the time but on certain occasions may snap. In extreme cases like this the worst happens. I pray for all that have such problem and wish something could be done on a larger scale to help!

Nothing wrong with living at home if you have a job and you are contributing. but when you sit on your ass all day and play video games and then expect people to take care of you that's where the trouble starts.

29 and living at home can't be good for the head. Yes, yes, I know Japanese people live with their parents forever.
