Holy “….” I was hoping your title was deceiving.

It just proves that so many think Mental Illness & the other illnesses you spoke of can be over come with tough love. It’s a damn illness. This reinforces why I write about it.

The brain is an organ just like the heart, kidney’s & lungs. Would you have left her if she had a chronic illness of the heart or her lungs?

I pray you never need a caregiver & someone to just love you as you are. What if you became disabled and your current (younger wife… brag, brag) had to take care of you? What if you had a stroke and she just left you?

Mental illness is just as real and disabling as any chronic medical illness. Actually it’s time they reclassify Mental Health as a Medical condition because your story proves what many of us fear who suffer: The stigma is still alive and well. Oh and the uneducated who are determined THEY are the victims.
