So real and so sad I am sorry you had to experience this Jeanette. My heart goes out to you. I can always related in so many other ways. Thank you for sharing your story.

What a great read. The ending really resonated with me in so many ways. I can’t believe I’m two years behind on reading this but I’m so glad I did.

got boring like half way through

Absolutely loved it

Finished this. Didn't like it. But it's good she told her story. A title that intense I was expecting a story this was so... bland. Do not recommend.

Great!

- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"I'm Glad My Mom Died" is an incredibly powerful and emotional memoir that resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced the complexities of relationships with narcissistic figures, whether in family or friendship. Jeannette McCurdy’s raw honesty and vulnerability make this book not only a captivating read but also a profound exploration of trauma, identity, and recovery.McCurdy’s writing is refreshingly candid, shedding light on her tumultuous relationship with her mother and the impact it had on her life. Her experiences mirror many of my own, particularly the traits of narcissism that can often go unchecked in family dynamics. It’s both heartbreaking and enlightening to witness her journey as she navigates the pain and confusion of growing up in such an environment.What I admire most is her ability to turn her struggles into strength. McCurdy’s journey through recovery from eating disorders and her decision to leave acting behind are testaments to her resilience. Her transformation is not just about escaping her past but about reclaiming her narrative and finding joy in her own voice. The way she articulates her feelings about her relationships, both familial and platonic, is incredibly relatable. I found myself reflecting on my own experiences with narcissistic friends and family, which made her story even more impactful. McCurdy's honesty serves as a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, and her triumphs inspire hope for healing and self-acceptance.Overall, "I'm Glad My Mom Died" is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of emotional trauma and the power of self-advocacy. McCurdy’s journey is one of courage, hard work, and ultimately, empowerment. This book left me feeling both uplifted and seen, and I can't recommend it enough!

Thank you for being so honest about what you went through, and for showing the raw emotion that many of us are afraid to show ourselves. Your story is definitely worth writing about, inspiring, even. My best way to respond is that I’m so sorry you went through what you did, but I’m glad you found ways to overcome it. Famous or not, you are human like the rest of us and you prove it with every word you’ve written. Well done.

Any free moment I had, I read. This was incredible! I have not talked to my mom in over 5 years because she is a narcissist as well and toxic beyond belief. This was healing for me. Just another check mark in my mind on how I am doing the right thing for my family and my sanity. Jeanette, I hope you keep writing girl because you are super talented. Much love 🩷

I recommend this book to any adult with a mature and open mind. She really did spill her heart in this one. You’re an excellent writer chick. Thank you for sharing your life with us♥️
