1. I am glad you are in a better place.
I think lots and lots of people are in a better place today.

2. Thanks...that experience was an eyeopener in so many positive ways...
....it sucked but I learned quickly that I wasn't *crazy*...just emotionally exhausted...a huge difference.

And I hope for everyone better days! :hi:

3. Locked you in a mental ward for cursing your sister!?!
Unfucking believable. Different states handle behavioral issues differently, but jeez. Many of us knew what was coming; we were just powerless to change it.

4. Yep....instead of being arrested for disturbing the peace and put in jail.....
....I was cuffed until the metal was cutting off the circulation in my hands..behind my back...and left that way for over an hour...still have dead nerves in my wrist from it too....sigh...but it didn't kill me...it made me much stronger than I could have ever imagined at the time. :)
