Hey Rob i really appreciate your courage and vulnerability sharing your past... through adversity and challenging childhood experience blossomed resilience and the insight to make choices that foster wellness and self love and compassion. I think you beat the odds andnit sounds like you felt loved by your mother even though times where hard
I'm grateful for the choices my mom made. She chose to get out of an abusive relationship, stayed away from drugs and alcohol, and maintained an almost supernatural belief that we could rise above. These choices made a huge difference in our "beating the odds," as you said. They also served as a powerful example to me. Even though we struggled a lot, I was also we really fortunate to have a great role model. This is something that many of the people we serve don't have. It's one of the many problems of street entrenchment—there is no example of health and wellness to model oneself after.
As always, I appreciate you taking the time with these pieces, and for your work.
Fantastic piece. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I’m happy to know that it reached you.
