Growing Up Grounded Shelby Wynn

Obviously, there is something going on in your family that is causing you stress, or you wouldn't have picked up this book. Maybe your parent or caregiver has been recently diagnosed with a mental illness, or you have always felt that something was up. First of all, don't worry, you are not alone. Of all the adults diagnosed (or not) with a mental illness, the majority of them are parents and little to no attention is paid to their children and how this diagnosis also affects their children. There is no other book out there, specifically for the child of a parent who suffers from mental illness!I would like to take you through twelve chapters, helping you as the child, to cope with your current family situation. Allow me to take you on a creative journey that I wish I were exposed to as a child of a parent with a mental illness.
