  1. Thank you for this piece, of journalism, of your story, of your son’s. We have a daughter who suffers from a mental illness. It showed itself as she was becoming a teen. She is now 30. The last couple years have been better. I tried, have tried, am trying to find the place you seek. I wish you and your son a peace that is meaningful to you

I love the way you ended your message to me too, wishing my son a peace that is meaningful to me. Thank you. I hope your daughter continues on her path to wellness too.
