Not all mothers love their children. Some leave. Some stay and still disappear. And some do both — twice.
ABANDONED. BY MY OWN MOTHER. TWICE. Is the memoir of a child too old for her age — carrying fear, shame, and the weight of a wound buried too deep to reach.
This is not a book about blame. It is not a guide, and it offers no easy answers.
It is something rarer: a raw, unfiltered account of what it means to be a daughter of a toxic mother — to grow up emotionally abandoned, then physically left behind, and to carry that wound silently into adulthood.
Written in two voices — the inner child who lived it, and the adult who returned to listen — this unconventional memoir traces one woman's descent into the depths of complex trauma and her painful path back to herself. No therapist guided this journey. No method was borrowed. What you will find here is the honest record of a wounded inner child finally given space to speak — and an adult willing to hear her.
If you've done the therapy, if you understand your story perfectly on paper, and still feel that something hasn't shifted — this is the gap this book lives inside.
This is not only a story of descent. It is the record of a return — imperfect, hard-won, and real.
If you have ever felt unseen by the one person who should have seen you most, this book will find you where you are.
For the daughters who raised themselves.
For the children too old before their time.
For anyone still carrying a wound they were never allowed to name.
From the ashes of abandonment — a voice. From silence — truth.
