Mia sometimes doesn't understand her mother at all: She is always on the phone, is sad, or hurts herself! When she disappears one day, Mia is beside herself with worry. And incredibly angry: What is wrong with Mom? When a family member suffers from a mental illness, children also experience great insecurity. It is important not to leave them alone with their fears and questions. They need encouragement, age-appropriate information, and space for fun and play. This book contributes to that. Children learn to understand borderline symptoms and realize that they are loved, even if their father or mother cannot show it amidst the whirlwind of emotions.
