Dear Ellen-Marie,
You did such a fabulous job of capturing the turmoil going on inside children that the world does not see. When I ask children about their feelings, they seldom admit that this is going on. I learned about these emotions from adult support groups, especially during open mike sessions when adult PWS sometimes recall horrendous childhood memories. And, when I try to inform parents and teachers about how children can get so twisted up inside, they are skeptical because what they see on the outside is a child who is somehow not appropriately engaged in what is going on. A child who they assume is distracted, lazy, lost, or whatever. So, I think your chapters would be excellent reading material for the adults in a child's life.
