Description
Don't Call Me Mum! is a heart-wrenching account of one mother's struggle to cope with her son's extreme behaviour and addiction. M.V. Preston shares 16 years of her experience as the mother of a boy diagnosed with ADHD and conduct disorder, revealing the emotional toll of being blamed, ostracised and labelled as a 'bad parent'.
This book offers a unique perspective on parenting a teenager with addiction and drug problems, and provides practical strategies for dealing with difficult social situations and managing anti-social behaviour. By sharing her own story, M.V. Preston aims to help mothers feel less hopeless and more empowered in their quest to support their children.
