    Yeah, I am glad her story has a happy ending though--she is a NICU nurse and public speaker, now (she has to be around 29 or 30 years old). It goes to show some of the worst and seemingly hopeless...

    Mental Health Awareness Month

    Chixie, I am so sorry you were met with that attitude. I have found the same--that people who were supposed to understand, didn't understand at all.
