    I’m glad people are loving her book. It’s a prime example of just because YOUR mother was amazing, doesn’t mean MINE was. Every child deserves a parent, not every parent deserves a child. Not EVERYONE needs to be a parent.

      I am right there with you. Through therapy I've worked a lot on being that person for myself. When I feel I am speaking or acting from my hurt child place internally giving myself that patience, understanding, love and acceptance I wish adults in my life would have shown me. It may sound hokey at first but after lots of practice I find it really helps.

    “I had to be an adult to understand what had happened when I was a child”
    That’s is SO TRUE if you go through a trauma as a child
    When you’re young is so hard to fully understand all the parts that were in play and how were you involved or how bad your situation is

    People use the excuse “CHILDREN DO NOT COME WITH INSTRUCTION MANUALS.” But they DO! There have been books available for decades on parenting techniques, the psychology of children, parenting styles, etc. If parents wanted to be decent and make an honest effort-they would. Instead, we excuse or normalize bad parenting with the automatic built-in idea that parents are on pedestals and deserve respect regardless. This book is an important conversation starter for broken children and adults who didn’t have loving relationships with their parents.

      I’m always infuriated when people say that. I had a therapist instruct my mom on what to do and not do to help me with an eating disorder. She disregarded it all and still says this.
      She also says she’d change things if she could go back, but repeats the same behaviors.
      Like ok Ma’am, you had a professional literally write customized step by step instructions for you. It’s not even that these people don’t know help is available because clearly when they are given direct help, they still don’t do what they’re told. They don’t regret their actions, they regret not having something they want, whether that’s a relationship with their kids as adults, grandkids,capable children, or being unable to keep their kids quiet and under their control. And it’s not that they didn’t know, they just didn’t want to or even didn’t feel able to change their actions.
      There is no valid excuse for child abuse. Using a tired old cliché does not excuse abuse.

    From what I have read from her book, she looks like she could be a really good comedic writer. I know she has said she is done with acting but wants to work behind the scenes so this good be a good avenue for her.

    Im a 26 year old guy, grew up in the age range her show was aimed at. I lost my dad at age 12 from a 9/11 related cancer officially recognized by the state of new york as a 9/11 related illness. He was a police officer in nassau county at a precinct on the border of queens NY. My father was loving but I don't think I ever loved him back because his discipline was abusive. He would get very angry very fast over regular kid stuff. The title of her book really resonates with me. I was 12 and I knew if my father was alive he was going to make my high school years a nightmare trying to control me. I felt glad he was no longer suffering but I was also glad he was gone and couldn't tell me what to do anymore. It sparked a lot of guilt that I deal with to this day.

    Thank you Jennette McCurdy for showing the world that some of us have some really crappy parents. I really think because of religion, we do have to worship our parents and never question what they are doing. That is fine for kids who aren't being abused sexually, physically, and mentally. Thanks for 'normalizing' having bad parents and for giving those of us who do have them, some legitimacy. You are an angel to those of us who have felt deep pain because other people couldn't empathize. You are helping the world to grow their empathy. Many blessings to you for being such a voice of honesty and strength!

    When I read the book I couldnt fathom that this intelligent well-spoken bubbly individual I see on these interviews was the same person in the pages experiencing such extreme abuse. The amount of recovery and self improvement she's made is so wonderful and I'm so happy for her! I genuinely hope she's doing well now. I loved the chapter about the chocolate chip cookie, was such an Ernest moment that made me very emotional.

      A lot of abused children create a split within themselves: the public face, the private face and the face they show their abuser. Going to therapy went a long way for abuse victims to stop trying to hide who they are, and become a solid, whole, genuine people.

Now I'm writing my own book psychology based interlaced with my personal experiences to help others understand how to get out of that dark prison of fear, anxiety, depression and powerlessness.

      Verbal or physical. It's wrong. Peach McIntyre just uploaded a video about her abusive Mom.
      So many people have the NERVE to call her a liar. If you notice , the women at the View seemed to have a hard time EMPATHIZING with her. Talking about how GREAT their Mom's are.

      Its probably cause in order to be a child star you almost have to have had parents who are very pushy and controlling cause most small kids dont go out of there way to say cant wait to spend hours and hours on set and then travel to meetings and learn lines etc. Most kids would choose to just play so it almost always the parent who is responsible for the kid’s ”dream”.

    My living conditions were nowhere near as bad as hers. But I know exactly what it feels to be at the mercy of a mom who's moods are unpredictable and scary. My heart would start pounding when my mom got home from work and by the way she would drive and enter the home flinging her stuff around we knew if it was safe to approach. At that time we were living in a small 2 bedroom apartment and I shared a room with my mom so there was literally nowhere to hide. So survival instinct taught me to just please her any way I can and stay out of her way. I blocked these memories out for so long and in my mid 20's I started remembering them and my god, I struggled. I was an emotional wreck trying to deal with the effects. For the first time I had to heal the scars I never knew were there, and at the same time grapple with how this was my mom who hurt me so badly. I'm sending so much love to anyone at the beginning stages of the healing process. Just know it does get better and you are not selfish for prioritizing yourself.

      This actually does happen in ED recovery sometimes, and I remember her saying smth about this before the book ever came out. If a person is only eating what they need to survive the body holds onto that because it knows it might be a while before more food is consumed. Then during recovery the body is re-trained to know that food is not scarce and no longer needs to do that. I don’t know her exact situation but what I remember her saying was that it was difficult in therapy for her to deal with being thinner during recovery than she was during the worst of her eating disorder. Obviously everyone’s recovery is different, some gain weight, some lose, and sometimes both happen during the whole process.
