My name is Madilyn. I am 16. I estranged my brother. This is my story....
note (from psyche to go )
Estrangements from family are one of the most psychologically painful experiences anyone could experience. It almost goes without saying that estranging yourself from family is absolutely counter-intuitive. Adding more stress to the already-stressful mix, society tends to project harsh judgment on people who reject their family - even as disturbed as some families can be. As a therapist who, by profession, must work to find the empathy for anyone who comes for treatment, it is hard to swallow the fact that some men and women can be so judgmental about others' experience - especially when they have no real idea about how bad things may have been in the estranger's family!"
and I agree. In this book, I talk about my experiences and what led me to this decision. some events will be hard to swallow... but at least you didn't have to go through it.
This story deals with the topic of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and mental health in general.
