The speaker discusses their experience as children caring for their mother who had a mental illness. They talk about their mother's open honesty about her mental illness and the challenges they faced as children. They express gratitude for their daughters' support and hope to bring hope to others.
Being a parent can be very rewarding, but if you are managing your own mental health you may not be able to be the parent you’d like to be. It can be sad and confusing for kids too—and they often take on a caring role.
