KD, thank for sharing that! Sometimes people try to solve everything with a mental illness and it's not always so.
Yes, I, too, believe that you are blessed to have had those two experiences with your dad. How healing for you!
I still say that if it hadn't been for my dad, I might have lost my baby daughter. That instance, I have no doubt about!
