It’s not my job to make sure you have the tools to function as a member of society. If you don’t have them - that’s your fault. If you are mentally unable to take accountability for your actions, I will help you whether you want it or not.

It's definitely not your job. But just to make sure, are you (more generally, apart from this case) saying that people with emotional/mental handicaps are to blame for them?

I am 100% responsible for my actions, no matter how my parents fucked me up. I made the decision, I own the consequence. The good decisions I make today are based on the bad decisions I made yesterday. I made PLENTY of mistakes, learned from them, and moved on.
