A Story about an Adult who Reflects on her Experience of Growing up Around Mental Illness

This is about Victoria's Story of growing up in a family with a mother who had schizophrenia.
As a 40 year old mother of four children she reflects upon the lifelong impact of growing up with a parent experiencing mental illness. She talks about the hospitalizations, her older siblings who developed schizophrenia and how they coped, being a young carer, and many other experiences children and youth may be faced on their journey.
