Sorry to know that your mom struggled with depression for ten years . You are more matured and i really appreciate that you refused to allow a mental illness and overcame it with the right decision. I think it takes a lot of guts and initiative to remain in a sound mental condition.You are giving your kids a better tommorow,which only parent can understand.
Doing something is better than doing nothing policy is the best since it keeps you busy and remain positive.
Thank you! My mom is much better now, and it helps a lot that we can talk about it together.
