Now twenty, she welcomes the storms.

It can persist for years and may worsen without treatment. Socially, it's termed "unacceptable behavior." Maggie doesn't know if her latest actions are the only bricks left to her castle in the sky, but she hopes you'll understand if they're not.How far would you go to build a castle in the sky?
