For me, the last straw was when I got my period all over an expensive pair of Natasha's undies. And of course, when you've borrowed someone else's knickers, the universe decides to unexpectedly give you your period, so you get blood all over them. These were nice, expensive undies, and I had wrecked them.
Imagine being taken in by family members when your home life falls apart, only to be asked to leave when things get tough. That's the emotional rollercoaster Rosie Waterland recounts in this episode of 'Mum Says My Memoir Is A Lie'. Rosie shares the highs and lows of living with her wealthy uncle and aunt, who provided her with opportunities like boarding school and drama school.
But as Rosie's struggles with depression and anxiety intensified, the cracks in their relationship began to show. Her uncle and aunt, who had their own family to focus on, eventually decided they could no longer support Rosie. This painful rejection added another layer to her already complex life, leaving her feeling abandoned and alone. Rosie's storytelling is both raw and relatable, shedding light on how mental health challenges can strain even the most well-intentioned relationships.
With her trademark wit and honesty, Rosie invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences with trauma and abandonment. She doesn't just tell her story; she opens a window into the messy, complicated reality of growing up in a world where stability is often out of reach. If you've ever felt like the odd one out or struggled to find your place in a family that doesn't quite understand you, this episode will resonate deeply.
Tune in for a candid conversation about resilience, mental health, and the painful but necessary journey towards healing.
