Growing up is hard enough without having to deal with addiction, mental illness, and periods. But Rosie Waterland's memoir shows that it's possible to come out on the other side with strength, resilience, and a unique sense of humor.
Imagine the chaos of being a teenager dealing with your first period, only to have it announced to the entire school bus by your little sister. In this episode of 'Mum Says My Memoir Is A Lie', Rosie Waterland revisits a year marked by more than just adolescent awkwardness.
Her home life was a whirlwind of mental illness, addiction, and unpredictable events, including a violent incident that sent her mum Lisa to the hospital and left Rosie guarding the TV at home. Through candid conversations, Rosie and Lisa unpack the tumultuous events that defined their family that year. They dive into the night of the bloody argument with Brian the Homeowner, the subsequent hospital trip, and the lasting impact on their family dynamics.
The episode doesn't shy away from the grim realities but balances them with Rosie's trademark humor and resilience. Listeners will find themselves laughing at the absurdity one moment and deeply moved by the raw honesty the next. This episode is a testament to the power of humor and honesty in coping with life's darkest moments. It's a must-listen for anyone who has faced adversity and come out stronger on the other side.
