A Mommy’s Love encourages mommies to continue being mommies and to challenge mothers to become mommies. It will equip you in becoming an advocate for your child. Most important, do not be ashamed of having a child with a mental illness. It is important to get your children the help they need before they become adults.

Do not fear anyone when it comes to being an advocate and fighting for your child with a mental illness. Never give up on your child, no matter how hard it may seem. If your children see that mommy is giving up on them, they will give up on themselves. You as a mommy are all that your children have. If you do not fight for your children, no one else will. Stay strong, dedicated, firm, be a mommy, parent, and advocate for your child!
