Deb McCurdy was a waving red flag. Abusive, manipulator, enabler of bad habits, etc. I couldn't fathom how hard it was to be her daughter.
I felt for Jennette; it was sad that she went through hell and back. She was a child! She deserved better. Oh god, even the grandma was the spitting image of her daughter. How hard must it have been for her to grow up and live a lie?
I'm so glad that she was getting better and got her freedom that she truly deserved. I'm glad she finally admitted that she had a problem and searched for solutions to help her.
You inspire me, Jennette; I hope you get better over time. Thank you for sharing your story with the world.
And to people suffering from Anorexia or Bulimia, I hope you seek help. I wish you the best.
P. S. I loved your storytelling skills, especially since I read this with an audiobook companion. Your dark humor was the chef's kiss.
