Too Sensitive.
What does it take to see the truth? For us to save ourselves, even if it sets fire to everything we’ve ever known. To become brave enough, sick enough, and tired enough to let go. To stop fighting the battles that were never even ours to fight. To hand back responsibility for the lives we’ve been saving at the expense of our own. To let go and begin to heal. To love what we never thought possible, and become the person our childhood selves knew us to be all along. To let light pour into the darkest corners, we may have to break down a lot of walls, but our eyes begin to adjust, and we finally see the way out. We stop awaiting our execution and save our own lives.

I didn’t know when I started Rebecca’s book that it would help me finally make peace with watching my family dissolve.
I was the villain—or at least that’s how I saw myself. By “villain,” I mean I was the one who tried to fix everything, who pointed out what everyone else should do, believing I could somehow hold us all together.
Instead, I learned to step back and let people live as they choose. This book took away my guilt. It took away my need to make sense of everything.
As Rebecca writes, I had love poured over me like cement. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. Eventually, I picked up my own sledgehammer and broke myself free.
If you’re feeling trapped by family, let Rebecca’s strength remind you where to find your own.
This is a universal story about reclaiming your truth. Sometimes we have to walk away from the people we love to find ourselves. And when we do, we often discover we are far less alone than the demons convinced us we were.
I may still be the villain in someone else’s story. But to my son, I’m the hero because I chose to break the pattern instead of repeating it.
Rebecca’s truth didn’t replace mine. It gave it new language. It added layer upon layer to a truth I was finally ready to claim. It’s times to heal and I can’t recommend this book enough.

It only took a couple of paragraphs for me to have found a reflection of myself in her words, and I immediately found myself in tears. Her journey mirrors mine in so many bittersweet ways. Relationships with family, friends, self, and the Divine are all dissected carefully to reveal a healing path towards hope and happiness. Rebecca is a rare gem and her energy is so inviting and warm. I am left wanting to know her more deeply. We empaths are funny like that - so sensitive.
I highly recommend this book. It is a heavy journey, but I promise you will come out better for it in the end.

Thank you.
I just binge read this lovely book. Went through all the feels reading it. Curiosity, anger, frustration, fear, sadness, compassion, love and peace.
So many experiences close to my own.
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. An invaluable tool on my own journey.

I actually didn’t finish it. It was too triggering. But I’m giving it 5 stars because of the quality of writing, and the guts it took to write it.
