excellent book

I have been searching for help on the topic of having a mentally ill parent for years and only recently found this book. It is a very valuable resource. The author is comapssionate, has a keen understanding of the problem, and can articulate what it feels like to be the child of such a troubled parent extremely well. This alone is helpful in that it helps the reader feel validated in their struggle and not so alone. The author also provides practical (to me) and useful advice and guidance in how to deal with the life-long challenge of having a mentally ill parent.
