商品簡介
Behind Closed Doors is a raw and unflinching memoir that takes readers deep into the hidden realities of a life shaped by trauma, silence, and survival. Spanning over forty years, Rosie shares her journey through a dysfunctional family environment marked by childhood abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect, and later, destructive and abusive relationships. From an early age, she turned to drugs and alcohol as a means of coping, carrying these struggles into adulthood while navigating the devastating effects of narcissistic abuse and years of stalking within her marriage. This memoir does not shy away from the harsh truths. It explores the lasting impact of trauma on both the body and mind, including her diagnoses of Complex PTSD, Fibromyalgia, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Yet, within the darkness, there is also light. At its heart, Behind Closed Doors is a story of awakening. It is about the painful unravelling of toxic family ties, the choice to step into isolation as a means of healing, and the slow, courageous journey toward reclaiming a voice that was once silenced. Supported by a small circle of deeply meaningful friendships, Rosie begins to rebuild her life from the ground up. Running alongside it all is a dark, cutting sense of humour. The kind you develop when things are so far beyond okay that laughing becomes the only release valve left. Honest, confronting, and deeply moving, this memoir offers not only a window into survival-but a testament to resilience, healing, and the enduring power of hope.
