Talks Stories #005 RITA GALANDO - Living with mentally ill partner

"It happened so fast — one day, we were a regular family. The next, I was fighting to keep us from falling apart."

In this deeply personal episode, Rita Galando shares the harrowing journey of watching her husband spiral into untreated mental illness — a descent marked by paranoia, confusion, and ultimately, devastation. Blindsided and alone, Rita had to protect her children while navigating the emotional wreckage of a family in crisis.

She opens up about the darkest moments: the silence surrounding suicide, the helplessness of not being able to “fix” the person you love, and the strength it took just to survive each day. But this is also a story of resilience — of a mother’s will to protect, endure, and rebuild.

🎧 This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s lived through mental health challenges in their family — or wants to understand what it really means to survive them.

Content warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, mental illness, and trauma.
