I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
5.0
My commentary from while reading…
- Obviously from the title of the book, I knew her mom had to be pretty bad. But this is beyond what I ever imagined. She wasn’t allowed to wipe her own butt until she was 10? Her mother showered her with her 16 year old brother?? And she is still showering her until what… Jennette is at this point 15? And it’s probably going to keep going. Those facts are just so disturbingly strange that it’s painful to read about. And then let’s not forget the literal endangerment of Jeannette’s health by forcing anorexia on her- but that I was sort of expecting. I was not expecting the other controlling insane behaviors. I just can’t get over how insane this lady is and how people are letting her get away with this.
- 37% I keep having to pull up the scenes being described to watch them as they come up in the book. I remember Sam being in a boy short outfit for the beach scene, rather than a bikini. I assumed that it was because her character was sort of Tomboy. And I remember the kiss scene with Freddy. Watching it now, you can totally see the panic in her open eyes as they kiss. Again, I would have just attributed that to her character. I would have never guessed the torment she was going through. This actually makes me want to watch iCarly in it’s entirety.
- 40% she is now 16, has been on iCarly for 3 years, AND HER MOM IS STILL SHOWERING HER
- 41% and she is basically taking care of her mother, in addition to earning the money that puts a roof over the family’s head.
- 50% at this point, I would be glad that my mom died as well. And now she is trying to date this piece of shit? Omg I feel so bad for her and the life she has been dealt
- 51% she keeps paying off this jerks debt?! In addition to putting up with him. Omg.
- 52% PS SEND MONEY FOR A NEW FRIDGE?! THIS WOMAN IS INSANE
- 69% no wonder her mom was insane. Her grandmother is insane as well.
- 82% the fact that she still doesn’t realize/accept that her mother was insane and abusive is crazy
