From the chapter on cats:

"Of all people, the writer should regard the cat sympathetically, for when she was a baby of five months she was adopted by a cat. My self-elected foster-mother was Jenny, a handsome black and white cat, which at that time lost her first litter of kittens, through the attack of a savage cat from the woods. She was as Rachel crying for her children, when she seemed suddenly to comprehend that I, although larger than she, was an infant. She haunted my cradle, trying to give me milk from her own breasts; and later she brought half-killed mice and placed them enticingly in my cradle, coaxing me to play with them, a performance which pleased me much more than it did my real mother. Jenny always came to comfort me when I cried, rubbing against me, purring loudly, and licking me with her tongue in a way to drive mad the modern mother, wise as to the sources of children's internal parasites. This maternal attitude toward me lasted as long as Jenny lived, which was until I was nine years old. Never during those years did I lift my voice in wailing, that she did not come to comfort me; and even today I can remember how great that comfort was, especially when my naughtiness was the cause of my weeping, and when, therefore, I felt that the whole world, except Jenny, was against me."

I love the shades of summer!

If the mother is incapable, she should at least use other means, classes, even just YouTube to help her child grow. The best thing a mother would do is feed the child's moon because that's where it's most effective, also Lilith. Chiron is a little difficult to deal with but you can try.

They should also read through dark asteroids that are related to abuse, trauma and assault of all forms. I read those for people who survived inhuman monsters. They were absolutely surprised by revelations because they self-blame or call themselves delusional for the pain caused by adults at a young age...
