I grew up with my mother & her mental illness my mother has spent time in a mental hospital.
I see how hard it is for her & her struggle with what she goes threw every single day.
I thought wow I'm so glad this isn't happening to me but sadly is struck my sister.
She has the same mental illness as my mother & it's very hard on me daily to deal with.
I have been lucky it skipped me but I see how easy it is for them to just stop dealing.
But my mother owns her own home, owned a business for most of my life & has raised 2 children.
My uncle is a drunk & can't hold onto a home, a bank account, family, friends & has ended up couch surfing.
Since he was a teenager so I have seen it first hand to be just a hard judge of character.
