I see so much of our story in yours, and what a hard comfort there is in that. My son has been insisting for years that no mental health treatments can help him. Last year, I gave up trying to get him to access help, to being his care-taker. It wasn't helping him, and it was harming me. I decided to just be his mom. It's a work in progress, but I think it's the best choice in a situation with no good ones. We're both doing better than we were. Thank you so much for writing this. Feeling alone in it is one of the hardest parts.
Thank you for taking the time to not only read, but to share. We are not alone even though the experience is incredibly isolating. I'm thankful to know our journey can be used for this type of connection. PS- I'm so happy for you both. ЁЯЦд
Bridget, you are a damn fine writer with a story I wish we're not true (or common). Thank you for sharing the urgency, despair, and hope with us.
I am so grateful to you-- For your reading my stuff, sharing my stuff, and supporting our ugly life journey. Thank you.
