I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
4.0
this was candidly heavy???
i absolutely adore my mum and listening to jennette recall how much she loved her mum and how much she wanted to make her mum happy really struck a cord with me
and then... she started to highlight all the abuse that she's gone through at the hands of her own mother
idk like i 100% didn't have a trauma free childhood but the amount that jennette had to go through was just sickening and to have it thinly veiled behind it being gestures of love??? i want to say that intergenerational trauma caused by her grandma to her mum probably played a part in her mum's abuse towards her but regardless, jennette deserved better.
if only her mum was alive to acknowledge and display ownership for her actions. maybe jennette wouldn't have had to suffer as much in her 20s or maybe she would be suffering even more.
either way, really eye-opening piece of work and i am eternally grateful for my mother's health, love and her willingness to own up to her problematic behaviours because if i had to go through what jennette did... jeez idk
jennette is truly an inspiration
