Well, I'm fucking touched. It's so sad and happy at the same time. I'm pretty speechless. Wow.
Wow. Now this is a love story I would read. That man has a depth of feeling for that woman that is rare.
My first boyfriend was shizo-affective with paranoid psychosis -- but was diagnosed only after I'd broken up with him, which triggered a low point bad enough that he finally went back to the therapist he'd seen for grief in childhood and got an adult diagnosis. This makes me really sad, thinking about how much more functional he could be today if that had happened earlier. On the other hand, that happened at about the same age as Sally here got help, so he's probably on the right path now, and his symptoms are less severe than hers. So on the other hand, it makes me happy thinking that someone who was a big part of my early adult life does have a future after all. Hmm. Complicated.
