We begin with my personal war story. The story that began years ago with parents who had undiagnosed mental health problems and attempted to make the best of their lives, as well as their children's lives. Although, they had little to model their lives after, it became a constant cycle abuse, chaos, disconnection, and ultimately, the downfall of a family unit. This is a very difficult story to share, but important nonetheless because it allows the listener to hear how even through the most traumatic of times, hope and a willingness to change is always possible.
