Have you suddenly found yourself parenting in a situation beyond your imagining? How do we cope when those we love so dearly cause themselves and others around them so much pain and distress due to the disastrous choices they have made? How do you continue to live when your head is so sore from banging it against a brick wall and your heart is in tatters from loving over and above the brick wall? This short book won't be able to provide the answers but offers a hand to hold when walking through this stormy phase of parenting. You will hopefully find a true reflection of how one mum coped against the raging torrent of domestic abuse in her daughter's young, fragile life and some useful tools to draw upon when you are sinking.
