Eloquent, as always. I hope that now you can see that you are a light to your family and us, and you are changing the way people see mental illness. You are a trailblazer!!
You are sooo loved. 💜 And I think love is enough. The only "tragedy" would be if you didn't survive. We are survivors of every day that goes by. I love learning about your parents. As hard as it can be for those in your circle, they are there to help and we have to let them. That is their purpose. They are angels from God carrying us along in "love" Hold on my friend, I'm more than happy to be here 💜
Agreed with all the comments on this post! You are amazing. And thank you. I’m honored to be mentioned by you. To say we connected is an understatement. Immediate friends!
Going to get a little woo woo here, but I feel like the universe gave you to your parents and your parents to you. The universe knew what you needed and you were and still are cared for by two amazing people.
Such profound sentiments and emotion and insight and it resonated with me so much in that I too grew up like your dad, caring for a mentally unwell mother who also struggled with addiction under impossibly high standards set by a dad who wasn’t around a lot. You keep trying and you are ans have done so much more then survive. This community is testament to that 💜💜💜 thank you as always
Felt this so deeply in my soul, and I have to say following you and Waffle and now Tug, then reading your journey has brought such contemplation and joy and acceptance into my life and for that I am forever grateful
Piecing together the right words to describe the beauty behind this chapter escapes me. The importance of you and the beauty that IS YOU and what you share means so much to me and this whole community.
And here you are picking up where your parents’ mission left off--reaching out at ground level to those who hang on every word and mission statement about mental
health care and understanding. You are a leader and a success story. Hold on to that.
Ohhh, Kate ! I wish you could FEEL the truth of the words your Dad spoke to you in that moment. And KNOW how truly worthy you are of their love. There is nothing that compares to unconditional love. NOTHING! You are a gift and a wonder.
Believe your father’s words. You’ve accomplished so much while going beyond mere survival. I’m sure they are so proud and happy you are their daughter.
Oh Kate - you've done so much more than just survive! You've become an educator and an inspiration.
