as I said in my other blog, I wont’ just dismiss my mother out of my life like she doesn’t exist. she does in fact suffer from a mental illness, is she harsh and toxic yes… no argument here, but the world as I said has many many people in it with mental illnesses and I work in a hospital with children who suffer from mental illnesses and it’s not right to abandon anyone just like that.. take steps back yes, pull away a little yes, but trash the person like yesterdays garbage no.. I’m sorry that’s not how it works Anita, people should not be dismissed like a day of school..
