"Why do we romanticize the dead? Why can't we be honest about them? Especially moms. They're the most romanticized of anyone.
Moms are saints, angels by merely existing. NO ONE could possibly understand what it's like to be a mom. Men will never understand. Women with no children will never understand. No one but moms know the hardship of motherhood, and we non-moms must heap nothing but praise upon moms because we lowly, pitiful non-moms are mere peasants compared to the goddesses we call mothers.
Jennette McCurdy, I'm Glad My Mom Died
This book is difficult to read, but it has so many gems like this one. Of course, there are people still saying that she shouldn't talk like this about her mother, as if the person who abused her in more ways than one is owed that level of grace in death. If her mother was still alive, she still wouldn't be free to talk about her experiences without judgement. Mothers are deified just for popping out a few kids, even if they turn out to be severely maladjusted. Jeanette has already made it clear that she doesn't intend on having kids in the near future, which many people seem to have an issue with. They think having kids means that she has healed from her trauma, which is a sinister mode of thought. Her refusing to do so already make her more sensible in my eyes compared to the women who will still have kids and wind up continuing that cycle of abuse, rather than healing from it and staying childfree.
And it's funny how mothers and fathers can come online and complain about their kids and even outright say that they hate them just for being born (TikTok is a breeding ground for these attention-seekers). However, when their kids call them out on how terrible they were as parents (or will even cut them off completely) they aren't given that same freedom to do so without the backlash of being "ungrateful".
And people are wondering why the number of parricide cases have been sky-rocketing lately...

You remember those child star horror stories I love to talk about? Here's some from just the past 30 years. And there's a lot more out there.

Jeannette McCurdy's memoir is so good and she reads the audio book version– it's really fucked up and heavy so prepare thyself if interested, but she does this thing where she writes w the voice of the age she was at the time and it's— extremely well done

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jeannette McCurdy
This book was funny, heartbreaking, interesting, and tough to put down. McCurdy did a great job of writing about tough topics like child stardom, eating disorders, abuse, and addiction in a way that is light but shows how troubling those things were for her.
I'd recommend this book for fans of McCurdy, people interested in the toll stardom takes, and people who are ok with a slightly more heavy read.
Triggers: abuse, addiction, alcoholism, anorexia, bulimia, cancer, controlling parent, death, eating disorders

I'm really fucking depressed because of the new Quiet On The Set docuseries about the abuse Nickelodeon's child stars suffered. Like its not surprising at all, especially after hearing what Jeannette McCurdy went through. I just can't help but hate myself because all I can think about is like my childhood is getting stomped on.
Which is a completely bullshit thing to be upset over because those poor kids had their childhoods stolen from them.

"I've told him twelve times that my mother's dying of cancer but he acts like she has a sprained ankle. He has no concept of loss. I feel like the world is divided into two types of people: people who know loss, and people who don't. And whenever I encounter someone who doesn't, I disregard them."
