Summary:
"This book is about
mental
illness, family caregivers, Alzheimer's and dementia, and the
health
care system. It continues the story of the
Martini
family and their experiences with
mental
illness (which was earlier chronicled in the book Bitter Medicine: A Graphic Memoir of
Mental
Illness). In The Unravelling,
Olivier
Martini
has lived with his mother, Catherine, since his diagnosis with schizophrenia thirty-six years ago. It hasn't always been a perfect living situation, but it's worked: Catherine has been able to help
Olivier
through the ups and downs of living with a
mental
illness, and
Olivier
has been able to care for his aging mother as her mobility becomes limited, and
Olivier
's brothers Clem and Nic have been able to provide support to both as well. But then
Olivier
experiences a serious
health
crisis at the exact same time that his mother starts slipping into dementia. All of a sudden, the precarious caregiving situation the
Martini
family has constructed is about to come apart. The family's lifelong struggle with
mental
illness is suddenly complicated immeasurably as they begin to navigate the convoluted world of assisted living and long-term care. With anger, dry humour, and hope, The Unravelling tells the story of one family's journey with
mental
illness, dementia, and caregiving, through a poignant graphic narrative from
Olivier
accompanied by text from his brother, award-winning playwright and novelist Clem
Martini
