Amanda is taken to a mental clinic after she slices her underarms open with some glass shards and throw various objects from her balcony. The doctors do not have anything to recommend her, and so Amanda´s fate takes its course. “I kept hearing the voice of my dead father and seeing faces everywhere," says Amanda, deeply moved. The sympathetic lady wants to dive headfirst into a puddle. Now Amanda can finally take care of her son again. “Love is the best medicine,” laughs Amanda Beyer (36) from the city of Innsbruck in Austria. It is 7 years prior, and Amanda suffers from postpartum depression after giving birth to her son Justin. Every day the learned machinist visits her. “Suddenly I began to notice things again that I had ignored for years, like the chirping of birds and the beautiful weather. It was as if a boulder had been lifted off of my soul. I have only my Victor to thank for that.” Finally, the hidden wells of her mother´s love spring up from the depths, and she accepts her son Justin. “My duties as mother gave my life structure again,” Amanda says knowingly. “Mama is simply swell since she´s become healthy,” says the youngin. “I love playing with mom. “I´m a passionate rummager, I love going around flea markets and looking at all the old stuff,” gushes Amanda. After eight years the little family takes it´s first vacation and spends two wonderful weeks in Italy. Exotic bracelets and earrings demonstrate Amanda´s readiness to live her new life. If my Victor wasn´t here then I´d have to make him up. Love heals all wounds...”
