I wish I could tell you that things are going to be easy outside of that belly... but I can't tell you any of that.
Imagine being on the run before you’re even born. That’s exactly where Rosie Waterland's story begins in this episode of 'Mum Says My Memoir Is A Lie'. Rosie, along with her parents and big sister, fled Sydney in the dead of night to escape a botched drug deal with bikers. But as Rosie reads from her memoir, 'The Anti-Cool Girl', her mother Lisa offers a different version of events, sparking a candid and sometimes hilarious conversation about their past.
Rosie’s childhood was far from ordinary, marked by her parents' struggles with addiction and mental illness. This episode delves into those early days, highlighting the chaos and instability that shaped her formative years. From the backseat of a car speeding away from danger to the challenges of foster care, Rosie’s story is both harrowing and darkly funny. Lisa’s perspective adds another layer to the narrative, questioning the accuracy of Rosie's memories and offering her own take on what really happened.
Their dialogue is raw and unfiltered, filled with moments of tension but also unexpected laughter. It's a poignant reminder that our recollections of the past can be as varied as the people who lived them. If you're looking for a podcast that blends emotional depth with a touch of humor, this episode is a must-listen. Rosie’s resilience and ability to find humor in the darkest situations are truly inspiring.
Tune in for a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you reflecting on your own family dynamics and the stories we tell ourselves.
