stone herself, encouraged strict calorie counting when Jennette was pre-pubescent so she could keep landing herself younger roles, and was seen as a way for them to ‘bond’ as they both shared small salads to keep their weight down.

When your parent has narcissistic traits, you’re often pulled further than the love a child has for their mother because they make you their sole source of companionship and emotional support.We gain insight into the life and challenges of being a child-star and how she manoeuvres her life around the lasting challenges she carries with her into adulthood.

I’m Glad My Mom Died is a revelatory memoir by a dynamic young artist who is using her pain and experiences to forge a new identity.
