I need a good book I can relate to right now. A little back story:
I grew up the middle child, between two brothers. Dad was a truck driver and absent for most of my childhood. Mother was emotionally stunted and distant, claimed to be “sick” often. I’ve always been the “good” child. No one had to worry about me. Hyper independent, moved out at 17, felt no emotional connection with either parent. Maintained very surface level relationship with both over the years… more out of obligation while my mother used me as a sounding board for every issue she had or created and my dad slowly faded from MS.
Dad died last year and the next day my mom and I got into a huge fight. We haven’t spoke since. I never got to grieve my dad and continue to maintain no-contact with my mother while she spirals.
Life is kind of crumbling right now and I would love some book suggestions to help me feel like I’m not alone.
