I was going to write a long piece on an explanation of the Law of Expressed Emotion, but in keeping what I have been learning about helping others and myself, I think it is best to not try and offer advice I am in no way qualified to give. Which is pretty much what the […]
I was never a great student, I was very curious and worked hard when I was interested, but got pretty low grades in high school and really struggled in college.
