I CAN FIX THIS: AND OHTER LIES I TOLD MYSELF WHILE PARENTING MY STRUGGLING CHILD, written and read by Kristina Kuzmic
Kristina Kuzmic’s I CAN FIX THIS: AND OTHER LIES I TOLD MYSELF WHILE PARENTING MY STRUGGLING CHILD is first and foremost a brave memoir recounting a courageous journey. In writing and reading, Kuzmic does not refrain from truths or emotions as she tells the story of her standing by and watching helpless as her beloved eldest teenaged son, Luka, faces a mental health crisis that might yield the end of his life. As she suffers, she shares the difficult life journeys she received, when she learns to restrain when her instinct tells her to yell, to understand no one in an endless line of therapists seem to be unable help, that Luka’s use of drugs is keeping him alive through self-medicating and again and again learning that she can’t fix things. While her reading is evocative and heart rendering, so is the final narration by her son, Luka. Find more information about the book and audio in the purchase link below.
