With her mum absent for long stretches, Valerie grew up feeling unloved, unprotected, and harboured feelings of resentment. Over time, her pain led to self-destructive behaviour and eventually to a diagnosis of schizophrenia while she was in prison.
On this episode of Can Ask Meh?, Valerie and her mum open up about their struggles, the heartbreak, and the slow, difficult journey of rebuilding their relationship.
