Sickened: The Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood by Julie Gregory
3.0
this is truly one of the single most frightening books i have ever read. gregory's tale of horrific abuse at the hands of her parents (especially her mother) and her eventual development into a functioning adult is simultaneously awful and hopeful.
the several points at which she has to talk her mom out of suicide resonated deeply with me, having been in similar situations with a friend.
although the writing style can be a bit halting and unsure, this book is worth the read just for the emotional and physical journey.
