This is a story of love, anger, resentment, mental illness, and addiction and the impact on family and marriage. This is the roller coaster of not only daily life but also the long-term effects of the roller coaster on the spouse, children, and anyone who may know them.

This blunt and powerful book will not only relate to many readers but also hopefully inspire those who need help to reach out for help.

Whether you are on the receiving end of the turmoil or the one whose mental state and addiction is creating the turmoil, no one person can get through it alone.
