Customer Reviews

Self discovery

This book is quite valuable, especially for those on a self discovery journey where Mental illness plays a part in their lives and their family. If one hasen't dealt with past issues and pain after living with family members that are afflicted with mental illness, this will help.It is a journey.

Siblings, etc...

A very cogent work, sincerely motivated (so it seems) out of desire to assist those who are faced with reconciling their own behavior in light of the demands and constraints of having a sibling (or more..or other family) who are personally challenged with mental illness. Highly recommended if your in such a position or assisting someone who is.
