Maddie’s Reviews > I'm Glad My Mom Died > Status Update

I had a hard time reading today. I’m still enjoying reading, but again it just feels triggering. She’s finally past the “my mom is a god” stage, but now she’s feeling so much guilt for even questioning her dislike of her mom’s treatment. She’s on her own for the first time at 18, and it’s almost like she has to make up for that time she was never alone. I get that.

Oh my god, I hate her mom. And I’m only 100 pages in and still have a hot minute to go. I totally relate to her “lucky numbers” issue, but not to her mom having to physically wash and shower her kids herself (especially with her 16 year old brother??). I knew she was messed in the beginning, but it’s only getting so much worse

Really interesting so far, and not going to lie, a tad bit triggering in quite a few ways. But I’m excited (I don’t think that’s the right word here though) to continue reading more of her story
