I'm Glad My Mom Died

TW TW TW TW TW:

I feel as thought this book should have came with an extreme trigger warning at the beginning of the book. (Maybe it did but I took it with a grain of salt and it did not measure up to the actual amount of abuse in here)

TW: EATING DISORDERS, verbal abuse, gaslighting, Stockholm Syndrome, absentee-father, heavy drug and alcohol use

I loved this book. I really appreciate Jennette's candor and no-nonsense retelling of her story. You can tell by her writing tone and overall narration of the book how exhausting and struggling her life has been. It was really refreshing to hear from someone who is so ready to move on with their life that they retell all the nitty gritty details of the abuse they faced.

I would highly recommend not reading this if you have every struggled with or have not solidly healed from that trauma as this couple cause a spiral back into old behavior.
