A journey of one Mother advocating for her son who is mentally ill. Let down by the system as he aged, and further isolated from any hope, she chronicles the many obstacles and heartbreaks associated with the stigma of mental illness and hopes to erase the bias against it and perhaps find some help for her son, and new hope. I know there are others out there like him, and I know there are other Mothers out there like me. Let's please find each other. Let's create change.

About Me
- livlaflovqd
- I am married to a wonderful man and a mother of two boys. My oldest is mentally ill and my youngest is just fine...if that is how you would describe a teen anyway! I am a Registered Nurse by profession and I also work with mentally ill adults. I also attend school full time chasing after my Bachelors in Nursing Science degree. My goal on this site is to expand awareness of a disease that holds no value and needs so much attention. We all know someone who suffers from some degree of mental illness. It's those who are severely affected that bear the brunt of the downcast nod from society. It is a physical brain disorder, not a disease that anyone wants, or conjurs up, but a serious medical ailment that requires medical intervention and compassion. Thank you for your interest and please feel free to spread the word about this site. Please visit and support NAMI.org. Please wear lime green proudly.
