I’m glad too! My Mom suffered from a very bad bout of mental illness when I turned 13, and I became the “Mother” of the family at a young age. Cooking, cleaning, and taking care of my Mom, basically. She was in and out of mental hospitals for years, until they finally got her on a decent combination of meds. I lost one brother to alcoholism 6 years ago, and I struggled with self-medicating myself for years, but after that, I began to take my health seriously. Still not perfect, but I’m not drinking myself blind and crawling into bed anymore. Legal mj helps, just need a little each night, and I don’t feel like drinking or get anxiety attacks. Good for you!
