Maxime,My mom once told me (when I was in the middle of a deep depression) that she just didn't know what was going to become of me, that I must just be "sorry" (as in no account). She was wanting me to get a job and I could barely get my teeth brushed. I think I was about 23 at the time.
We just have to be here, all of us, for each other.
You've already proved how strong you are. How else could you have made it so long with all you'e had to deal with?
