I had been forced to be a chameleon my entire life, adapting to different situations and people and friends as they came my way, but nothing could have prepared me for that preppy hell on the north shore.
Rosie Waterland's life took a surprising turn when she moved in with her Uncle Ben and enrolled in an elite boarding school. For someone who had never experienced stability, this seemed like a dream come true. A steady environment, new friends, and consistent routines were all new to Rosie, and she thrived at first. But things took a dark turn when bullying reared its ugly head.
In this episode of 'Mum Says My Memoir Is A Lie', Rosie and her mum Lisa dive into the painful memories of those school years. They discuss how the relentless bullying affected Rosie, not just then but in the years that followed. The episode is a candid conversation about the scars left by those experiences and how Rosie has navigated them through her writing.
If you've ever felt out of place or been the target of cruelty, Rosie's story might resonate deeply with you. Her journey is a testament to the strength it takes to confront and share painful pasts. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that blends raw emotion with moments of levity, reminding us all that even in our darkest times, there can be light.
