The Nickelodeon star's memoir gives solace to daughters of abusive mothers.
—in which she speaks about the abuse she suffered from her mother including sexually, physically, and emotionally—has ushered the former Nickelodeon child star of iCarly fame into the storied pantheon of depictions about mother-daughter relationships from the perspective of a woman who hates her mother.
Eighteen-year-old Jen, however, saw a different reaction to McCurdy sharing her story. “It’s saddening, but unsurprising, how many people are entirely dismissive of her experience just because her abuser was her mother,” she says. Motherhood has traditionally been depicted as inherently tender and loving. Anything that contradicts that ideal often leads to dismissal of victims of maternal abuse. “No one in our family believed us,” 30-year-old Aretha says about her experience coming forward about maternal abuse. “The few adults who did believe us still told me things like, ‘Okay, take care of her when she gets old. It’s the right thing to do.
