I’m so glad you were able to write this from the other side, Val. I’ve also been committed to a mental hospital and it’s such a humbling experience. I love the goal you articulated — what a powerful North Star!

Thank you Katie for reading and sharing your own experience, and for your kind words always. 💕 We've never met but I'd really like to give you a hug when we hopefully do, somewhere in the world!

Hey Val!

Do you still remember me? Lol :D

Thanks for writing this impactful post.

I know that since you've been through hell, the rest of the problems is just a piece of cake.

Take Care. <3

Bonjour Val,

I think it does take courage and bunch of detachment as well to write this and you put it perfectly with your words so congrats. It also reminds me a big part of my life because my ex wife has (had) bipolar issues i think. I ended up divorce because of her strong violent crisis, i finally gave up because i was unable to find any solutions facing her distressed behaviour period. Findind forgivness to myself taking this decision to leave her is not easy even today years and years after (2015) because we were inseparable, i went so torned. I just hope she found peace now.
