98 - Sophia Makris - Parental depression and isolation, who should take responsibility? Me or God?

Sophia mum of three has been married for ten years. When Sophia was young she was a free spirit who felt she had everything in her life under control.

When she was younger she moved from Athens to a small Greek island to open a Crepe shop. 

Shortly after the crepe shop opened she started dating a friend and fell pregnant very quickly. Becoming a mother was a shock to the system as all of a sudden Sophia had responsibilities and life became more restrictive as a responsible parent.  Her mother was back in Athens and her father lived in America so there was no real support.  Her boyfriend’s parents were not particularly supportive of the union either because of how fast everything had happened.
 
There were no cars only motorbikes on the island. Because her husband was working long hours they were like ships in the night. Sophia fell into depression, she had no one to lean on, no one to pull her back on track, she felt like she wanted to die. Until one evening her son randomly found a copy of the Holy Bible and brought it to Sophia to read. Watch the full interview to find out what happened next.
