Things I’ve Learned While Loving Someone in Active Addiction.
I learned a lot from being in a long term relationship with someone who struggled with a drug addiction. He never wanted to be like His uncle but he ended up being exactly like him. He was clean until he wasn’t. He would call himself the worst type of addict because he was addicted to the rush of it all way more than the actual drugs. I learned a lot about addiction from him. I learned that he thought that when it was good he thought the world glimmered with hope and when it was bad there was no getting out of it. I used to think that that feeling alone would make anyone stop. That the good must feel worse than all of the people that he was hurting. For him it never did.

Re-Introducing Myself
I am a mother of two happy, healthy, and adorable children who happens to also have schizophrenia. I enjoy writing and enjoy to write about motherhood, mental health, religious views, and other random “adulting” subjects here on this blog as well as publishing books on the subject (Whispers of Strength, Whispers of Prayer) and publishing science fiction books: (Time In Space, Return to Space). I hope and pray that I can make a difference in the views of others who seem to agree with all of the articles in a Google search engine that talk about how horrible it is to know or be a schizophrenic – let alone have one be a mother.
