Well, turns out: I was in a Domestic Violence situation

Exactly as the title read, I was in incredible denial over the past four years. Lead to a broken limb, among other injuries, and IBS from the stress of it all. Just glad to have gotten myself and my dog out of that environment. Hoping to start real healing soon. Nobody deserves this, and if it ever crosses your mind to leave them: do it. Your health and safety depends on it.

Down every rabbit hole!!

This picture says it all… if you know, you know.

My daughter has been down just about every rabbit hole we could think of.

The recommended diets.
The supplements.
The treatments.
The endless suggestions from well-meaning people.

Every new thing came with hope — maybe this is the answer — only to be followed by disappointment when it didn’t help.

It has been expensive, overwhelming, and emotionally exhausting.

After all the searching, she finally stumbled upon a diagnosis, and with that came some answers at last.

I know so many carers and parents will relate to the cycle of hope and despair that comes with trying everything for someone you love.

Sometimes the hardest part is carrying that hope over and over again, only to watch it fade.

Have you been down similar rabbit holes before finding answers for your loved one?
