Ghosted and Guilty: A Fictional Memoir by Liv Matthews

by R Stone

In this candid and gripping fictional memoir, Liv Matthews delves deep into the chaos of family estrangement, the spiral of addiction, and the long road to recovery. Raised in a fractured home under the harsh rule of her stepfather, Roger, Liv’s life was marked by silence, resentment, and a desperate longing to belong. After leaving home at seventeen, she finds herself battling alcoholism, self-destruction, and a string of broken relationships that mirror the dysfunction of her childhood.

As Liv’s family drifts further away, she is left to face her demons alone—navigating psychotic breaks, toxic relationships, and the pain of being ghosted by those she thought would never abandon her. But through the darkness, Liv begins the slow, painful journey of self-discovery and healing, realizing that sometimes, the hardest part of recovery is admitting your own role in the distance between you and the people you love.

With raw vulnerability, dark humor, and a newfound sense of hope, Ghosted and Guilty is a story of accountability, resilience, and the power of acceptance. It’s not just a tale of estrangement, but a testament to the strength it takes to rebuild a life from the ashes of the past.
