>banter aside you sound fairly nonchalant talking about your mom's psychosis. did it really not get to you? because it definitely got to me. badly. was your dad present to help? maybe that made a difference, or maybe you're just less sensitive to that kind of stuff
No, it got to me as well. I used to be a hypersensitive kid. But I think dealing with my mom and all the difficulty and responsibility that came with it helped me to improve and grow into a more resilient person. My dad helped a lot, and he did most of the dealing with her, but he was also often the cause of why my mom had a relapse. Her manic or psychosis usually happened when she stopped taking her medication, and my dad, several times thought it would be a good idea to try that again (even though it literally never worked and she always ended up in the asylum eventually)
But it got to me as well. On one hand because I used to be very fragile and on the other hand because I always tried to help her or figure out some way to solve her issues, but I was never really able to. She never made any real progress or improved her issues no matter what I tried. I think some people just can't be helped

>What an odd animal. Is that the baby version of it? It's good you kept her drawing :3
That is the baby version of it, at the end of the video you can see the mom of it

>interesting. was quitting very hard for you? I know it usually is and some people can't seem to stop no matter how hard they try. I don't really feel addicted yet I was just taken aback by feeling that craving because that's the first time that ever happens to me
Yes, it was super hard to quit. I only was able to make it because I quit together with my mom. She was also a smoker and she told me she would start again if I also started again. I think any addiction gets more and more difficult to quit the longer you have been doing it
