Summary
This story is told through the jagged peephole of the author's awareness, examining her formative wounds and influences from the perspective of a woman who has now gained experience and wisdom. As she peers over her soul's shoulder, she recalls the chaos of her once-fragile childhood mind. She shudders as she is reminded of the sting of her lonely childhood, her feelings of abandonment, and her painful memories of being bullied. Her childhood self was once so lost that she even contemplated suicide. As the years progress, her mind is riddled with obsession, compulsion, and a crippling sense of low self-esteem. A turning point arrives many years later, after marriage and the birth of three children.
This story is about healing the faulty programming of childhood. It is about recovery from relationship addiction, food addiction, anxiety, and constant fear. It is a human story that will resonate with listeners from all walks of life, and which offers hope to anyone who has felt imprisoned by the past.

very relatable book, very honest and inspiring
You follow the author's honest description of her family's dysfunction, how it impacts on her childhood and personality, and how the true person still shines through at moments. She's able to describe both her family and herself mercilessly, with a matter of fact tone, leaving no trace of bitterness. Her strength is admirable and her faults are relatable.

Once I started listening I couldn't stop.
My heart and love goes out to child Lisa, who if I could I would tell her she is worth every ounce of being she has, however much she had to hide it. Thank you adult Lisa for sharing your journey with us ❤️

Not what I thought it would be
A short book, and an interesting account of a fairly miserable existence. However, the reading was a little flat. Clearly it's difficult to walk the line between sounding upbeat about a sad story and bringing colour and depth to the narration, but it erred on the side of monotone. Also, the story was only half told - the recovery is not something that is actually covered. The story takes you up to the point of her realising she needs fixing and taking the first step to exit the toxic life, but not how she did it. It felt like a book that was cathartic for the author but certainly wouldn't help anyone else with these issues to address them as the author hopes, only to feel less alone. That said, it does touch on an addiction not often covered, and that is addiction to exericise, and weight loss.

Thoroughly recommend
I really related to this book! Both of my step parents were alcoholics and my parents were unintentionally neglectful and controlling. I have recently left what I hope will be my last controlling and emotionally abusive relationship. I am ready to take responsibility for my own thoughts and feelings and break the cycle. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone that identifies themselves as co-dependent as well as anyone who does not; I think we all expect others to take responsibility for our feelings at times and unfortunately most of us carry through negative patterns that we have developed as children from our parents. The book is written very well and I was impressed by the reflectiveness of the author. The narration is also very well done.

Loved it!
I'm 32 and I've struggled with self unawareness issues all my life. As far as I remember myself I've had a feeling that there is something wrong me. Now I understand the I simply wanted to be heard. I wanted to matter. I wanted my feelings to be respected. I wanted to be enough. I wanted to be validated. Thanks to Lisa I understand that it's normal and the feeling of wrongness comes from detachment from myself and attachment to others. And ofcourse those others often turn out to be manipulators. Now I understand so many things. I only wish I knew it earlier! Thank you very much Mrs Lisa for sharing your story!!
