Mommy'S Coming Home from Treatment

The perfect companion for Mommy's Gone to Treatment, this book addresses the difficulties children may have when a parent returns home from treatment as the whole family learns to adjust to a new way of life. Addiction is a devastating disease not only to the person who suffers from it, but also to family members. It's hard enough to explain to an adult how addiction can affect an individual-just imagine what a child must think when a parent suddenly goes from a loving and nurturing mother to a screaming stranger. This book is about Janey and how she learns to face some of the challenges a family must confront when a parent returns from treatment for addiction. With brightly colored illustrations, Mommy's Coming Home from Treatment addresses these issues children face in easy-to-understand language.
