This was a good, short read. It was extremely personal and really dives into the effect that mental health can have on the whole family.

Poor Hannah Hart. Poor, poor Hannah Hart. 

An unflinching yet fair portrayal of growing up with an unmedicated schizophrenic hoarder mother and an emotionally neglectful religious cult member father. Hart offers so much grace to her parents despite the fact that she wasn't parented. She literally saved her mother by fighting tooth and nail to get conservatorship of her, and now they have a great relationship. Proud of her.
