I have a friend that was an aboused child, ran from foster, had no education & grew up on the streets, & now has their own apartment, is part of a loving family of three & has a very successful job. Their journey along the way would leave you speechless

@VodkaBec Nice

@cherokeepatti They grew up with no love in their life yet they're the most loving caring person you could ever meet

@VodkaBec I grew up with family members with mental illness, my father murdered my mother and all my sisters have been institutionalized. They call me the Lucky One, I don't believe in luck at all

@VodkaBec That's a good thing they escaped their old life, I've known people like that. My great grandfather road & lived on trains during the depression.

I've known outlaws, hookers and celebrities.

@Whispersindreams I've known several men who had to drop out of school in grade school to work like adult men to help support their family after their father died. One stayed in school but worked every chance he got and double jobs when he graduated.

@cherokeepatti Like my friend, l'de be wasting words by telling you how sorry I am. So I'll just say I admire your increadibly strength

@VodkaBec thank you...I believe one day we'll have a natural cure for most of these mental illnesses...diet and lifestyle are a huge part of it...trying to convince someone who is sick already they can make a change for the better is not easy, by the time they are diagnosed they are dependent on their doctors for advice and care and the doctors have a $ motive in it.

@cherokeepatti it would appear that globly people with mental illnesses don't get the care they deserve

@VodkaBec They are the Fringe Dwellers in society.
