Sorry if this has been asked before but I can not find what I’m looking for. When I was 15 my parents died (not at the same time, 6 months apart from each other) and I’m looking for books where the main character is an orphan. I had horrible relationships with both parents and my father was an abusive alcoholic, even though it has been 7 years I am struggling to process all of my emotions (mainly anger and feeling lost all the time) and I did therapy for several years but I just need a story, nonfiction or fiction, of someone else going through the same thing.
A lot of books about parents passing is about missing them and reminiscing over the good times (I read “Crying in H Mart” and liked it but it didn’t have enough dysfunction for me lol). I really liked “I’m Glad My Mom Died”because my mother was super into diet culture and restricting food. I’m also an only child so no one else shared or witnessed the abuse which has made it more difficult for me to be able to express everything. If anything I just blurbed out reminds you of a book, please let me know! Thank you fellow book lovers <3
