The Pain Dominic Knows Well

Dominic Carter understood Judy’s pain in a way few can. His own mother battled Chronic Paranoid Schizophrenia. As a boy, for his mother there were the psychiatric institutions like Bellevue, Pilgrim State, and Rockland State. The shock treatments, and the straitjackets. And he saw the toll it took on his family. The memories are not just distant recollections — they are scars that shaped his life and his mission today.

Turning Trauma into Purpose

Judy’s story is not just her story. It is the story of thousands of families across America who are fighting a system that too often fails them. Dominic knows this reality because he lived it. Instead of letting it break him, he chose to use his pain to fuel his purpose.

Today, Dominic travels nationwide as a keynote speaker, giving a voice to families who struggle in silence. He shares his own story to let others know that they are not alone, and that survival — and even hope — are possible.

No Momma’s Boy

Dominic’s memoir, No Momma’s Boy, 📖 is a raw account of what it means to grow up with a mentally ill mother. It is his truth — and it is also a mirror reflecting the truth of countless families across this country.

Judy’s call is a reminder of why stories like this matter. Mental illness is not just a medical condition — it is a family battle, a community challenge, and a national crisis. By telling these stories, Dominic Carter keeps the conversation alive and pushes for change.
