I was 9 years old when I became a Mental Illness Observer and by 10 years of age, I became a Mental Behavior Observer and Advisor. All my practice was in observing my dear mother and her behavior. I have 43 plus years of experience dealing with my mother’s mental health. You are here because questions have gone unanswered and probably will never be answered. Maybe a resolve can be found that can be lived with and the help will fill the emptiness and the void. If we have a void, imagine how our love ones, friends and family feel. They know something is unsettling and maybe together we can find a happy medium for those who really matter. I am still seeking answers to lots of questions asked over a course of 40 years. I just want the other alternative of not knowing which is getting as close to knowing as can so an understanding is bridged. I believe we can get there together.
