Fradel –
Amazing! A must read for child who’s mother is suffering from any mental illness!
It explains it to the child in a way that is not scary, burdensome or overwhelming
It helps them understand where it coming from, why it’s can’t be “washed away” and that their mother still loves them very much even if she cannot always express it or show it at the moment due to her mental state.
Most of all- it is both validating and encouraging!
