I am proud of Angie Dickerson and how she nurtured her daughter. I know first hand how caring for someone with a mental issue can drain you mentally, emotionally, physically and financially, because of my current situation of trying to care for my 83 year old sister with dementia. These people are so cunning, despite their emotional psychopathy. You find yourself hating to put them in an institution, but it depends on how much each person can take. I always enjoyed Angie's movies too. God bless you Ms. Dickerson.

I am sure you have done all you can for your sister. God bless.

[@scarlet8select696]

@@carolinecollett4349 Thank you so much for your comments. I will be picking her up from the hospital in about an hour. They have not done much for her and keep referring her to a GI Specialist. At age 73, having broken my neck some time ago, and severe osteoarthtitis of my left hip, it is so hard for me to get around and take her these places. I am hoping they will use one of their own GI specialists. You are so sweet to care and offer an ear to listen. May God always bless you, as well.

Their daughter just wanted to be heard. That’s all we really want in life is to be heard and understood. Yet, even in death, Burt chose not to hear and read what his daughter wanted him to hear and read. That’s the tragedy of it all. Burt has not learned a thing about what his daughter really desired in her life. Her unread letter explains it all.

That was my feeling about the situation. People hide a lot, especially when they are guilty of causing devastating injury to their own child, starting with Angie refusing to take simple steps to stay healthy and give birth to an undamaged child.

[@judywright4241]

‘Shame’ is relative. We know of a family whose oldest son suffered oxygen deprivation, (hospital fault) and developed cerebral palsy. Very smart guy, but could do little for himself. The couple went on to have two daughters, who were very close to their mother while dad cared for their son, almost alone. We worried what would happen to the son after his dad died. We found out, his dad had a heart attack, dying almost instantly from it and the more frail mother committed their son to a sanitarium. She ‘couldn’t bear to visit him’, so the sisters ‘did their duty’ but even tho the son was commited & she never visited him, it seemed to break her and she too would die prematurely. We all think we know what we would do in such tragic circumstances, but w/o living it, it doesn’t seem right to be so harsh on the fact they were all flawed people.

I think he should read his daughter's note to get a glimpse into how she felt. Why is it when someone is mentally ill, they are treated like an outcast by society? This is why there needs to be "sensitivity training" about mental illness.

[@missy6597]

That can be a horrible disease, meaning the way it affects the person who gets it. They can be productive at one particular thing, or at nothing at all. The little fella in our family started killing animals and starting fires probably around 5 or 6, breaking out of the house and walking down the highway at 2,3 in the morning, so he had to be institutionalized. That was one of the hardest things the family has ever been through. It is a terrible thing to see a loved one suffer with and you can’t do anything about it. And there’s no cure. I’m just wondering why her daddy will not open the letter, wonder what he did wrong, he’s got a guilty conscience about something. But in the meantime, my heart goes out to them both for losing a child, to that horrible disease. They should’ve left her where she could’ve been looked after 24/7, but thanks for sharing their story, I hope it helps someone else reading it. Thank you 🙏 Factsverse

You explained it well. I heard him say that she was aggressive with Angie and she would not admit it. She was always positive about her daughter and showed this in an interview later in her life. She threatened suicide many times and probably left noted before. He knew her anger and why. But she never followed through and he didn’t believe she would. The manipulation is cruel. I have experience with this and much sympathy for the family.

[@sueraiders]

My opinion of Burt Bacharach I have nothing to say all I know is I love his music.

[@1957es]

This is incredibly sad and also unbelievable. She was put in an institution for having Asperger’s? If she got a degree in seismology as a commenter said, she was a high functioning Asperger’s or maybe she wasn’t one at all. Maybe her mother used that to hide the mental illness. Preemies need to be only children (check) and be given lots of TLC in order to function at their best. A preemie in those days wasn’t touched, it sounds like in this case, for 3 months. It is essential to be held and look into the mother’s eyes (mirroring.) That way a child gets a sense of herself and has good attachment. Absent, probably self-involved (psychopath? AD doesn’t seem to do well with diagnoses) father with many ruptured relationships. Mother who let the child be institutionalized. These two never should have met much less procreate. Angie’s love life high point should have been her affair with JFK and left it at that.

[@shybronyanimations5235]

Nikki also had a lot of other things going on, like how she was born prematurely. There are so many people who say she committed suicide because she had Asperger's, and as someone with Asperger's myself who lives a relatively chill life, it disgusts me to see how ignorant people are.

Mental illness is a big no-win situation, that scars everyone who loves the affected person. No one in the family escaped the deep pain of Nikki's condition and behaviors. No one. It altered everyone's life, as it does in every family where mental illness or other disabilities occur. No one is left unscathed. I wouldn't have read the note, either. I'm pretty sure it is not a guilt issue, for Mr. B. At some point, in these traumatic situations, we learn we must let the pain and the past be, and walk forward, and learn to forgive ourselves, knowing we did our imperfect best in a no-win situation, for which there are still no good answers.

Easy to judge people's lives. But sometimes some deficits from fetal development can cause extremely unstable behaviors making typical parents overwhelmed to live with them. It would have taken a team of knowledgeable professionals to attend to a difficult situation and back then even less was known about the syndrome.

[@Susieq26754]

True, I agree, but parents must be active in a child's life. Especially a child with special needs. It wouldn't benefit the child if one of the parents were absent and not willing to help. Also it takes dedication, not jetting off with multiple partners to exotic locations to forget you even had a wife and child. If men can't handle the responsibility maybe they should get a vasectomy and quit screwing every thing in sight.
