RECENT EVENT
(9 October 2024)
‘NIGHTSHADE MOTHER: a DISENTANGLING’
GWYNETH LEWIS
“It’s taken me a lifetime to muster the courage to face the full nature of my emotionally abusive upbringing. But I kept notes. Nobody breaks the taboo of speaking about cruelty within the family lightly but, compared to feeling suicidal and being chronically ill, looking at the truth has been exhilarating. I wrote this book for all those who have suffered in silence at the hands of a coercive parent. At times, I feared the experience would kill me but I now know that it’s possible to see the full shape of abuse and, with the utmost creativity, to survive.”
