I like this story because it illustrates that there are lots of ranges for normal and that parents often make the difference but I do want to make it clear that many mental health situations can't just simply be snapped out of.
- unimpressive 14y agoI know.
- altcognito 14y agoI figured you did, but there others who will read your story and think -- "That's just like that Aurora guy! He just needed that! He just needed somebody to come along and tell him "XYZ" and then straighten his shit out". I still thought the story was good for the reasons already outlined though.
