I've never met anybody who was fucked up because they didn't have enough money as a kid.
Imagine finding your late mother's diaries and uncovering secrets that would shake most people to their core. That's exactly what happened to Natasha L. after her mother passed away. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Natasha to discuss the emotional rollercoaster she experienced upon discovering her mother's writings. These diaries revealed her mother's apparent Borderline Personality Disorder, a revelation that brought Natasha both pain and understanding.
Instead of being horrified, Natasha found clarity and a new perspective on her mother's struggles. This conversation is more than just a recounting of events; it's a deep dive into the effects of family trauma and mental illness. Natasha opens up about how she has learned to cope, find emotional balance, and build self-worth despite her tumultuous past. The episode touches on therapy, survivor's guilt, and the power of unconditional love.
Natasha's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and offers hope to anyone grappling with similar issues. If you're interested in hearing a raw and honest discussion about family secrets and mental health, this episode is a must-listen.
