My birth mother suffered from Schizophrenia throughout her pregnancies, I was removed from her care as a toddler and placed into foster care, at 18 years old I started my search to find my birth mother and learned she was a homeless woman I had been passing on the streets, she suffered from Schizophrenia and didn't get the help she desperately needed. She lost her children and then her home and experienced chronic homlessness for over 20 years.
CBC did a short documentary on my story:
