Like Shards of Glass (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781886528031)

When you encounter someone with "obvious" mental health issues or what I refer to as "Throw Aways", what do you think, feel, how do you "deal" with this encounter? For many, it's get away quickly, like if this person before them has leprosy or something. If the roles were reversed, how would you wish to be treated? "Like Shards of Glass" begins a journey down a path, not a straight line journey from point "A" to the next and so on. No, it goes where it will; such seems to be the nature of mental illness, along with confusion, doubt, shame, anger, and despair. On this path, you are free to leave at any time simply by turning a page or closing the book. Those that live with these issues don't have that option. I was in the Navy for ten years when I began to remember things that occurred in my childhood. While in the Navy, I was diagnosed with major depression, recurrent, chronic depression, and PTSD. These books "talk" about my experiences. Again thank you for your interest in my works. (Mature Readers)
