A Few Helpful Links
1) Dealing with my mother’s mental illness has been exhausting, to say the least. I have been emotionally and physically drained. There were times when I thought I would not be able to handle it any more. I found a group that became one of my only outlets. I was able to vent to people who I knew I could trust and who I knew would understand. Anyone who is viewing this website and dealing with a similar issue would benefit greatly from this support group and the resources they can provide. I hope this helps as much as it has helped me.

2)
My father’s spe
ech has become extremely famous and his political status has
affected my daily life for as long as I can remember. Many people quote his
speech, or at least one line of it, without knowing the rest of what he said
that day. I strongly believe that if you are going to quote you should know
your source. Most people do not. Therefore I am including a link here to a full
version of my father’s speech.

3) Throughout my life sewing has been an important part of me as well as an outlet for
my frustrations. During my mother’s mental decline I would turn to my sewing to
help me relax and prevent me from going insane as well. This website has a lot of great links to resources for sewing fanatics, like me. I find it very useful and enjoyable. I hope you do as well!
