has been on medications ever since and there are episodes of relapse every two

going through with him for several years. We are trying to manage this
situation.”

patient, compassionate, enduring, and a Godly woman. Please disregard the bad
pictureof her painted by her husband. I don't want to say more than this for
now. Thank you.”
