Wow! As someone who grew up with a single mother with bipolar tendencies, this makes me feel grateful - that the verbal/physical abuse I felt is nothing compared to what you must have gone through.

More so, this is SUCH a powerful read. Especially the "You were not crazy, you were just sick".

Man, you're such a gifted storyteller - maybe that's why God gave you such childhood suffering and trauma - so you can heal and heal others through these soul-touching stories
