I like this story because it illustrates that there are lots of ranges for normal and that parents often make the difference but I do want to make it clear that many mental health situations can't just simply be snapped out of.
Upvoted primarily because "parents often make the difference" alludes to the wider context, the systems context, which includes the parents and other individuals and groups and society in general.
I figured you did, but there others who will read your story and think -- "That's just like that Aurora guy! He just needed that! He just needed somebody to come along and tell him "XYZ" and then straighten his shit out". I still thought the story was good for the reasons already outlined though.
