Hilary Hebert can’t control what kind of parent she will be on any given day. Sometimes, she lets her kids draw all over the walls and she draws along with them. Other times, she lectures them for doing the same thing. Hilary is learning how to manage a serious mood disorder and raising her kids at the same time.

Fascinating!This piece is really interesting. The balance between children offering stability and being a reason to strive for it is delicate and well-demonstrated. All parents struggle, but to what degree and with what issues makes all the difference. Very nicely done. |

The power of the parent child relationship is amazing!
Parenting can test even the most patient person. I give my applause to Hilary for relating her emotions to her children in ways they can understand such as giving herself a "time out". It is amazing how well our children can love us through our personal trials.
