Guest La Tesha Carter opens up about her childhood trauma that ultimately results in depression, anxiety and need for therapy. 

Following up from the Daddy Issues of last week

As little girls, the relationships with our fathers, good or bad, often spill over into our romantic relationships.  THIS IS TRUE FOR ME.  Because I longed to have a relationship with my father, I held on to my grandfather for dear life.  He was my hero for stepping up and loving me when my father didn't.  In addition, because he was so amazing as a father, all men had to compare to him.  I sought all of my needs from the men I was involved with.  I unknowingly needed them to do what my father didn't in order for me to let go of my grandfather.  Mine was extra because I didn't receive the motherly love I longed for either.

This young lady called me today while I was having a really awful day.  I haven't been able to sleep,(48 hrs) can't get out of the bed and not feeling well mentally.  My therapist isn't available and sometimes this will happen.  Just when I was feeling my lowest she called needing me also and we helped each other.  While speaking with her I asked if it were ok to record.  This was an impromptu episode but I decided to share so you can try to understand the real emotion and feelings going through the mind of those who battle with depression or other mental health issues...This is a relationship that I developed from being in Sheppard Pratt.  Three years later and we are still in contact....

When a phone call from my mechanic turns into a prayer session...
