Hello and welcome to my Blog
I have to be honest; I am new to the world of Blogging. The only Blogs that I have seen are those of friends. However, I have been asked by many, time and time again, to start my own blog. To create a sort of journal outlining my experiences of raising children. You see, I suffer from two mental illnesses: chronic depression and Borderline Personality Disorder. These illnesses make parenting that much harder, but they also make me see things and appreciate things that others might take for granted. It also gives my children a certain empathy that many kids don't have.
So, here I go. This Blog will outline my thoughts and my behaviours. However, I ask that you do not judge me. This is my story, and from it I hope that you can find strength in yourself and see that you are not alone.
Enjoy.

Do you or anyone you know suffer from a mental illness?
Mental Illness costs the Canadian economy approx. $18B a year.

Bronwen, I am proud of you for sharing your story and encourage you to tell us more. congrats on the new blog beginnings. No need to apologize that you are a new blogger ... just keep on going. Happy day to you and the family.
Hello Bronwen,
I admire the fact that you are willing to share your experiences with the public. I have been writing about depression trying to write a story about a girl who suffers from depression and inform about the subject for an english assignment. I would like to hear about what you think and if you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to share.
I understand a lot of your story. Especially the comments on wearing the masks so long you forget who you are or who you thought you were. I cant seem to find myself. I don't know how to begin looking. How are you doing it? How do I make my family understand. I fear my children think I don't care, and I've worn down my wife. It feels something else controls me. This is what autism must feel like.
