Dr, Vivian Napier | 7:11 a.m. Aug. 25, 2008

I too have a family that immigrated from Wales on one side and Scotland on the other, Madness came to me from both the maternal and paternal sides and also the disasters of a difficult life. Now at nearly 50 and after 2 psychotic breaks I am trying to figure out who I am amd how I put my pieces together and deal with the stigma and secrets that have long been swept under carpets and been the sequestered skelatons that rattled and spoke to me from the closets. Bravo on your work. I look forward to reading it.
