Spreading HOPE through my story of mental illness
Hold on! There’s help coming! There’s hope! I’m holding on to HOPE! For as long as I can remember, I have been convinced that I’m “crazy”. I always and STILL wonder if mental illness is part of my family medical history, but being an adoptee…. I’ll NEVER know. I will always wonder if my broken […]
Love and Marriage through Sobriety
