Looking For Resources, Books For Situation Of Mother Abandoning 8 Year Old Daughter And Teen Son.?
Posted by: Alan in Alcohol Counseling, tags: Abandoning, Books, Daughter, Looking, Mother, Resources, Situation..., Son., Teen, Year
Mental illness and alcohol are factors; also last contact included some violence. Children are not allowed by father to discuss it openly, except to demonize mother. Counseling currently not an option. Looking for an age appropriate book, perhaps, that deals with loss – specifically loss by choice. A parent resource would be good also. I am aunt of children; concerned about possible feelings of misplaced guilt, anger, loneliness, love.

I’m sorry to hear that these childrens mother did that. I dont really think there such books. The bible perhaps? They all need time to deal with their loss. The father has to come out in his own time. Suggest children speak to a couseler at school, and be there for them as much as you can. Good luke to you.
