Love this book!! Rarely do you come across an author willing to be this vulnerable, honest, and compassionate in their writing. Every main character made sense, and you couldn't hate any of them for making some of the terrible choices they made, because through the generational story and author's sympathetic eye- you understood if not cared for each of them. Anyone who has been hurt by loved ones who's bad choices were the best choices they knew how to make or who has had to struggle to end generational abuse patterns would benefit from reading this book. You can tell Debby Show, a licensed marriage and family therapist, has a huge heart and understands the pain that comes with loving people who hurt you, and needing to be accountable for your actions and boundaries to stop abuse cycles. Seriously grateful for Debby Show's generosity of vulnerability and raw processing... This is more than a fictionalized memoir- it's a road map to healing. If you've been given the opportunity to learn from generational trauma- this book is worth a couple months of accessible hitting home therapy.
