My mum had hoped for a warm and loving woman who had always been desperately looking for the baby that was stolen from her. Neither of them was particularly impressed with the other.
Imagine being a child at your own birthday party and overhearing a question about your mum that leaves you bewildered. In this episode of 'Mum Says My Memoir Is A Lie', Rosie Waterland takes us back to her 4th birthday, where an innocent question reveals layers of secrets about her mother's life. Rosie’s memoir, 'The Anti-Cool Girl', paints a vivid picture of growing up amidst mental illness, addiction, and the unpredictability of foster care.
But it’s her mother Lisa’s reaction to the memoir that truly adds depth to their story. Lisa, who once led a secret life as an escort, finally opens up about her past, shedding light on mysteries that Rosie had long grappled with. At the same time, Lisa’s own journey of being adopted and reuniting with her birth mother brings another layer of complexity to their narrative.
The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like sex work and addiction but tackles them with honesty and empathy. Rosie and Lisa’s candid conversations provide a raw look at their struggles and the healing process. Their dialogue is a mix of heartache and humor, making you laugh one moment and reflect deeply the next. If you’re interested in stories that explore the intricate bonds of family and the resilience of the human spirit, this episode is a must-listen.
