My mom has schizophrenia or bi-polar depending on which doctor diagnosed her.  She has had it for about 38 years, my entire lifetime so far.  My brother and I were adopted by her and my dad before they knew she was ill.  She has been in and out of hospitals since as far back as I can remember.  Our life has never been dull...  She has taught me so much about perseverance, strength of character, love, and pain!
