Mom? What's a difficult child?
I try to go back and forth on my books. But I am always drawn to very intense, especially new books on Mental Illness...
I read Alice Cooper's Book on Recovery and Golf when I took my getaway... It was GREAT!!! I am so in love with him, just as a person... the way he did what he did. His survival skills, his kindness. He is truly one of a kind, kind to his family. He has found love, passion and God. He is so grateful for everything in his life. And he is a great golfer... I am a new golfer and love his take on it.

The other is by a woman my age, she has Bipolar Disorder. She tells her life story. It is so close to so many of us, so many of our children... I see so much of myself in her,(without the 2 great books and only one hospitalization) but so many things about her I could relate to... so many of the negative. So much of the hope.
I could also see so much of K as Marya as a child. As well as many of the children here...
Her story is very engrossing and well told. She wrote "Wasted" when she was in her early 20's.
The book is called "Madness: A Bipolar life" by: Marya Hornbacher
