Mental Health Support

My childhood family tended more to violence. My great-grandma was more skilled with a knife than anyone else I've ever met and sometimes she'd be holding a knife in a threatening manner when she was angry.

I can picture her responding to threats of suicide by saying, "The hell you will, I'll kill you first!"

My great grandmothers were fiery tempered women of the wild west. I don't pretend that was a good thing, it just added another dimension to the dysfunction of their families. Her daughter, my grandma, was a mess.
