Great book for those trying to deal with a loved one who has a mental illness.

The author tells a real and raw story of the struggles of dealing with a child who is bipolar and won’t consistently take her medication. Dealing with the bureaucracy, the financial hardship and the limited options for those who have to care for a mentally ill family member is daunting and can lead to desperate measures being taken, as she described. While she can at times come across as trying too hard to be cleaver in her writing, her story rings true about dealing with the balance of caring for a mentally ill loved one, while trying to care for yourself and live your life. Great story.
