Welcome to Litsy!

244 pages of oh my god, of horror. The author describes how her mother stole her innocence from her by deliberately making her sick. But, she continued to do this to the other children she fostered as well. Julie describes a house constantly full of gaslighting, abuse—both mental and physical. After years of suffering, she discovered there was a name for what her mother did to her, via a psych class. Processing this might have been worse⬇️

Mother‘s Day brunch consists of scrambled eggs, coffee, and a memoir about munchausen by proxy. Appropriate? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Starting my choice for the #parentchildmemoir prompt of #booked2020. Not the lightest read but looks to be a fascinating distraction!

This was a really intense and unsettling book. It‘s so unbelievable to read about Julie‘s childhood and know about people like her. This was informative and I think that it is important to expose this horrific form of abuse and make people more aware.

1. I get that a lot.
2. We always have Christmas crackers and wear the paper crowns all through Christmas dinner.
3. Both but mostly veg.
4. Wood? With a side of aqua couch?
5. The worm from the bottom of a tequila bottle.

Y'all. This book is so sad, crazy and heart-breaking. It's also fascinating. It's a train wreck, and I can't look away.

I saw this one on someone else's Litsy and decided to try it.
