I shared this story, The Ponytail Holder, in Los Angeles, at the great Pablo Marz‘s Family Fun Time episode of Tell It! Personal true stories told live onstage. Heads up: this story includes themes of mental illness, which is not always fun in the family. But sometimes, at the end of our wits, what’s left to do except laugh?
