I read this memoir at a wonderful time! I have elected to heal and help others to deepen my healing. She's done so much living and I admire her honesty. She's aware of her grandiosity and flair for drama. She's willing to tell you that her theatrics were followed by despair for much of her life. One of my adolescent relatives is having a difficult time in her feelings about her mother. Her mother and I both have been diagnosed with a mental condition. She was aware of her mother's issue but I decided to disclose mine to draw more understanding of the perils of mental imbalance. We had that discussion last night. I had not discussed my condition with any of my cousins before last night. The cousin in question is young enough to be my child. I am surprised at myself. So that's a step.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Our healing doesn't exceed anyone else's until we have all been healed.
