For me personally it is being 11 years old and seeing my father wrestling my mother off of the deck railing. She was trying to commit suicide. She spent the next week in the mental ward at the county hospital.
I've been sexually assaulted, I've seen my grandmother in the throes of Alzheimer's, but my life compared to my mother's has been a day at the beach. She is my hero--I'm amazed every day at her strength and will to move on with life. She is my best friend. I am so glad she has overcome everything to be where she is today and as strong as she is today. I love my mommy very much.
