Summary

I reflect on coming to terms with and then living with Rebecca’s mental illness, the difficulties of being a supportive carer as well as a husband and dealing with Rebecca’s changing state of mind. I also discuss some of the challenges that we have dealt with over the years, including family communications and the NHS.
