Becoming Shameless by Eden Simchah

4.0

First off, I want to thank the author for the ARC. I’m so proud I was asked. 

This is a memoir about growing up with a narcissistic parent, coming out, and healing. I identified with this so much. I have very similar memories from my childhood. Personally, it was so inspiring to read a book about someone recovering from that abuse. It shows there’s hope for me. 

I really recommend reading this book, especially if you’re on your own healing journey. It’s really important for people to be aware of stories like these. 

One of the lines I highlighted was this: “Part of me wants someone to intervene, to notice how scary Mom is being and how anxious I’m getting.” This describes how I felt in my childhood with one of my parents. 

The last quote I will leave you with is this: “People who love you don’t threaten you.”
