And also, too, probably why you were feeling some of the ways that you were feeling kind of throughout his diagnosis as well.
good to be able to get everything out in one place and to be able to start kind of from your beginning into where you are now I think in a way it's very therapeutic to be able to do that without it having to be like analyzed in like a therapy setting yeah it allows you to do it in whatever way makes the most sense for you right you know to like just express it
Right, and I think it goes to show too, it's not a topic that...
you even, like you said, like none of us are professionals, even the people that are going through it, but it allows people to kind of understand different perspectives and be able to relate to just different things that you felt and experienced.

And you deserve to enjoy your own life separately from your family and from any issues that are going on.
And nothing against...
your dad your mom or anyone but it's not always fair to carry a burden of having to hear you know something that is sad you know and it is sad like the situation with your brother and it's hard and to have to
hear that often can be something that drags you down.
And that's not their fault.
They probably don't realize it either.
