“I absolutely love and support all of these Grim & Mild publications!
One concern: Episode 9 of Grim & Mild shades negativity to desperate parents of children with deep mental difficulties -at least the Kennedys.
While politics was likely a significant consideration for the father, there were others which were larger and glossed over.
Dear Rose had been increasingly violent in episodes and you indicated a significant amount of fear over her escaping.
My wife and I have a dear daughter who has violent episodes. We’ve lived for years in true fear that we will be killed in our sleep. Because our daughter tells us she will. And she will kill her siblings. Her reason is clear and true: our daughter lives in deep fear of her “voices” (auditory, visual, & tactile hallucinations) will kill her if she does not kill us. No medication has been effective, the doctors have tried over 30 pharmaceutical options and told us the hallucinations are her baseline and will not go away. She is less than 12 years old and very intelligent and creative. She has tried to kill herself and many others -even when she is in a psychiatric facility.
Please do not assign negative motivation to the people in history. Reality is that nearly all humans are doing the best they can with the circumstances they are given.”
