A Life Worth Living
A teenager's life with a bipolar parent
A Life Worth Living is a heart- and gut-wrenching view of a bipolar mother with gambling and drug addictions, as experienced by her only child through his teenage and young adult years.
Nick Rogen pulls no punches as he relates the loss of his teenage dreams which led to subsequent addictions as he and his father confronted his mother's crises and denials to help her cope with them and the problems they created.
The family traveled to Europe and to China in search of healing for Nick and his mother. When healing came, it showed itself in most unexpected ways.
Many books are written by parents who raised a child with a disability. This is a seldom heard story of what the child of a parent with a mental disorder faced, and the extreme measures he and his family undertook to help both Nick and his mother regain their lives.
I am related to Nick by marriage, so I have seen this drama evolve over the years. I am privileged to have watched Nick overcome his addictions and his family take surprising actions to deal with the problems of Nick and his mother.
