Therapist: No one is saying that people successfully dealing with mental health issues can't adopt.
Rome: They don't have to say it. That's how they feel. They look at people with mental illness differently. That's why I didn't seek help earlier. The way you and I were raised, doc. Black men weren't allowed to cry. We were taught to be tough because the world is going to be that much tougher on us. Never tell anyone how you feel. The only one you ask for help is Jesus. Stop me if I'm lying, but that's how you survive.
Therapist: Until you have a handful of pills in your mouth.
