Publisher Description There was a time when I loved my mother. Its shocking to imply that I stopped loving my mum because mothers always love their children and always do their best for them. Mothers are supposed to be good. But my mother wasnt good.Ten years ago, Helen Naylor discovered her mother, Elinor, had been faking debilitating illnesses for thirty years. After Elinors self-induced death, Helen found her diaries, which Elinor wrote daily for over fifty years. The diaries reveal not only the inner workings of Elinors twisted mind and self-delusion, but also shocking revelations about Helens childhood.Everything Helen knew about herself and her upbringing was founded on a lie. The unexplained accidents and days spent entirely on her own as a little girl, imagining herself climbing into the loft and disappearing into a different world, tell a story of neglect. As a teenager, her mothers advice to Helen on her body and mental health speaks of dangerous manipulation.With Elinors behaviour becoming increasingly destructive, and Helen now herself a mother, she was left with a stark choice: to collude with Elinors lies or be accused of abandoning her. My Mother, Munchausens and Me is a heart-breaking, honest and brave account of a daughter unravelling the truth about her mother and herself. Its a story of a stolen childhood, mental illness, and the redemptive power of breaking a complex and toxic bond. Author Biography Helen Naylor has been writing as a hobby since she was a small girl; but it wasnt until she began a memoir about growing up with a mother who faked illnesses and had narcissistic personality traits that she was encouraged to pursue writing professionally. Helen lives in Nottingham with her husband; two children and cat and enjoys cycling; playing guitar and drinking good coffee.
