More Info

Troy Larsen was a very special young man to me. I co parented with his mother half of his life and from age 12 to adult I did it solo.  

Troy struggled with depression, feared the stigma of depression and didnt want help. He called the suicide crisis line, 988 and received no help and he decided to complete his life by taking a large bottle of antihistimines.  

I will never forget the night I was called to his apartment 7/10/2023 and held his cold hands  I told him I understood, I loved him and said goodbye. 

Kristin has experienced great trauma in her life, after a boyfriend of hers overdosed some years back.  Both of us have terrible nightmares here and wake up in surroundings that remind us of all of the hardship we have had living here in this area. A therapist I spoke to suggested doing some short travels to see how you feel in different places, I took that advice and Kristin and I have been exploring areas to live, and work in northern IL. 

Kristin and I both live with some " Bionic parts" and have had problems with our mental and physical health.  We would like to live someplace where we can receive better healthcare, address the trauma of all we have been through, get married and live our best life together.
