As someone who has suffered through mental illness & suffered through neglect because of someone else’s mental illness; this was a very uncomfortable, yet accurate, portrayal of seeing both sides. When the spouse was finally able to speak, the relief was palpable. This book will always make me remember to consider my actions, & to hold myself accountable. You’ll never be able to control others & their responses; the only thing you can control is your response to them & to everything around you.
