This true story will bring understanding and hope to any parent who has a child with special needs. It is wrote from the mothers perspective.

My world had crumbled and I couldn't put the pieces back together. I realized I had no control over any thing that was happening. I didn't think I could handle anymore....' Recent Review 'I purchased this book looking for help, inspiration, understanding, guidance, and even confirmation of my own reactions to individuals with bipolar disorders. As a mother experiencing a quite similar situation, I was inspired to read that I am not alone. Not even with just experiencing the disease, but also the trials of trying to obtain help through the medical and legal professions. I hope that every reader learns the lesson of realizing "we" cannot fix our loved one, we can only assist in the fight. The book was captivating from start to finish and I cannot wait to read future excerpts of the author's experience. The author has a true gift of telling her story so that the reader feels as if they are living the experience'
