A story from one man's perspective, and the butterfly effect mental illness has on an entire family. Realizing the severity of my own mother's declining mental health when I saved her life for the first time at age eleven. Faced with real-life constant challenges and turmoil, as well as trauma. Running away at seventeen to be an adult. Working my way through one bad relationship after another. This is a passionate story about a person in search for family, a place to belong and what love is. A story of fatherhood and heartache. Loosing oneself, trying to be what others expected. Being an artist and finding a health obsession within it. Discovering closures and a whole new understanding of myself and others around me. Being able to conquer and find self-awareness which is the key to managing life more effectively, especially when one struggles. This is a motivating, positive story of self-awareness and self-discovery.
