Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Leanna May Franklin: Love Without Structure:Navigating Serious Mental Illness as a Family

I want you to know if you're listening and you're tired, it's okay. It's okay. It doesn't mean that you're weak. It doesn't mean that you're failing. It's okay to be tired and it's okay to rest. And some days that's what we do.
