Thank you for sharing this piece and the reality of this utterly shit disease on not just the person themselves but the also the ripple it causes across everyone.
I feel you. It is the absolute worst in so many ways - a total joy-sucker and life-destroyer, as much for everyone around as the person affected. The ripple effect really is huge. Sending you massive hugs x
It’s so important! These are the conversations we often are too afraid to have but, in putting this out there, you can help others going through the same things to not feel so alone.
Thank you for sharing this, Cassie. Love it! I relate so much to this, "Instead, being on the other side of the world gives me a chance to play the role of the mother I never biologically wanted to be—and the supportive daughter my mother always desired. It may not be ideal, but it works. For now." Sending you a big hug! xxx
Thank you for sharing x

Thank you for sharing. These stories need to be told.
Thanks Casey! I appreciate it! Yeah, it's not very sexy or punchy to write about, but it does feel important, too :) x
