Unconditional
Surviving and loving a child the world doesn't understand
Unconditional — for the parents who haven't been written for.
Some children don't fit the world. The systems built to help them — schools, clinics, courts, communities — were made for someone else. And the parents who love them most are left to navigate that world alone.
This is the parenting memoir those parents have been searching for. Honest about the cost. Honest about the love. Honest about the moments most books leave out: the 3am despair, the school meetings that feel like ambushes, the clinics that ask everything of you and give nothing back. And the love that keeps you fighting anyway.
If you are raising a child with complex emotional, behavioural, or mental health needs — biological, foster, or adopted — this book is for you.
