This woman admits that she stabbed her 16-year-old son, but says it's because she couldn't handle having to take care of him anymore. He was profoundly disabled -- autistic and with several birth defects, and he can't speak or hear. And there's no excuse for assaulting your son, but the problems of being a permanent caregiver tend to be overlooked. You have to spend every waking hour tending to the other person's every need, there's no help, and you can't have a moment for yourself. That could send anyone over the edge. (Hartford Courant)
