I’m Glad my Mom Died is a memoir about the author’s experience as a child star on Nickelodeon, having a narcissistic mother, eating disorders, religious deconstruction, OCD, and other things. I highly recommend listening to this 100% on audiobook at 1.0x. It’s worth taking the time to hear the author’s voice inflections as she tells her story.
This book isn’t light. The quip on the cover saying it’s funny is weird to me because it’s not. It’s heavy and it’s dark at times. I waited to read this until I felt I was in a place to be able to handle it. It made me feel angry, baffled, but most of all sad. Not just for the author, but for so many who struggle with similar issues as her and her mother. What I deeply appreciate the most is she takes a good amount of the book to share her experiences in therapy. It’s a raw account of how hard therapy is and that healing is not a linear process. We don’t get it right immediately and sometimes it’s gets harder before it gets better.
I’m so grateful for her willingness to share her story with the world. I took pieces I needed out of it for my own life. It was truly a privilege to listen to her story.
