Long-form audio documentary produced for CBC’s The Doc Project:

When Ash Abraham was a little girl, something changed with her mother. "Ma" started behaving oddly. She'd drag a suitcase around with her everywhere. She stopped paying her bills. Started sleeping a lot and having volatile emotional reactions. As a teenager, Ash had to move out as Ma lost her job, her car, and her home, and ended up being supported by a relative. Now, Ash wants to find out what's really behind her mother's increasingly troubling behaviour, to see if she can help her... or at least understand her.
