I think I put resources in the wrong place!
here are three excellent books
'When madness comes home" by Victoria Secgunda
this book is a resource for family members who live/lived with a parent or sibling who has a mental illness diagnosis. She has a second edition for partners etc.

Night falls fast by Kay Redfield Jamison
The best book I've ever read on surviving the suicide of a loved one. it covers all family members.

An unquiet mind by Kay redfield Jamison
about her journey's through her own bi-polar struggles.

all of these books were unusual in my opinion because they covered things that survivors secretly wonder about. IE: am I crazy like my father?
Really great resources.
