My parents have been very supportive, in fact, it was my mother who identified that what I was going through was actually depression.

My mother was apt to fall out on the floor and start speaking in tongues. Actually, it was a great performance... It was great theater.

This seems over-the-top to me,' at the same time, I did understand that this was passion.

Give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. Give me the options. All I want are options. And once I have all the options before me, then I comfortably and confidently make my decision.

Looking after children can be a subtle way of giving up... They become the whole ones, the well ones, the postponement of happiness, the ones who won't drink too much, give up, get divorced, become mentally ill. The part of oneself that's fighting against decay and depression is transferred to guarding them from decay and depression. In the meantime one decays and gets depressed.
