This was the first book I read about addiction from the perspective of family. Most of my reading about addiction is trying to understand the life of the addict because that’s not something I’ve ever been privy to. This book was all too familiar and exactly what my life was like for so long. I really loved that this book was able to reach audiences to share that the life of people around addict is completely changed in the exact exact same way. Makes me wish that there were more stories like this, and especially stories of siblings of addiction.

Wow this was such a good memoir. I’ve read other memoirs about addicts but never from the point of view of a parent. It was both informative and terrifying. At the end it brought me light and peace.

I do not rate memoirs
