Roller coaster ride [View all]

Not the fun kind at the amusement park, but the up and down journey with an adult child with mental illness. I am doing the best I can. It's a long and winding road. I don't have all the answers. I will never claim to. Some days are better than others. But I have to check myself. I don't want to walk on eggshells. I don't want to hold back. I refuse to deny. I won't lecture or judge. But I have to take an open and honest inventory. I know my strengths and continue to work on my weaknesses. I won't give in to doubt and self-blame, worry or fear. Thar helps no one. I will keep fighting. I will keep seeking support and answers. One day at a time.
