Hey, just wanted to say congrats for making it out -- it must have taken a lot of emotional sacrifice, self-awareness, and sheer force of will to overcome it all
It's given me a lot of perspective with my own parents, and I guess I should count my blessings to some degree.
Did your sister make it out okay too?
She moved to the UK ( from usa) so yeah, but not sure if she's pursued mental health treatment. Therapy was shunned obv in my family, but it's helped me so much. Hopefully she did the same
