Lorie, your page design is so beautiful in it's simplicity. What really gets me with this page is the journaling. I just want to reach through my computer and give you a big hug. Please remember that you are not your mother!
Oh Lorie, we sound an awfully lot alike and I've lived with a stepdaughter with bipolar, so I know what you're feeling. You will always be someone's daughter or someone's mother, but its good that you're hanging on to your own identity and are so perserverant. This inner strength you have will get you through this. Sending a great big hug your way.
