This is a true story about mental illness, drugs and abuse. I have been in and out of mental hospitals all my life. This is how I learned to never give up hope. You don't know how strong you are until you hit rock bottom. I was raised by my father, a former Marine who idolized Hitler. My mother has schizophrenia. My little sister died from alcoholism and my brother killed himself. I am a survivor and this is my journey.
