Mulberry 5-8024
Growing up with loving yet complicated alcoholic parents, Kristy learned quickly that life gets tricky when no one is in charge. She learned to survive in an erratic, chaotic environment created when grown-ups are in active addiction. She entered adulthood with a limited set of resources, showing up as classically codependent. Then her son was born, and her heart blossomed into an unparalleled love. She knew she had to change.
When Kristy first sat across from a therapist, she was prompted to talk about her childhood. She remembered her phone number, Mulberry 5-8024, the rest was mostly buried. Thus began her healing journey. She explored diverse avenues of treatment putting together the pieces of a broken childhood. It was an uphill climb, and when she made it to what she thought was the top, her son plummeted into addiction.
In this compelling memoir, Kristy Seagle describes her journey to parent herself as well as her son. She shares her process with unflinching detail as she puts together the pieces of a broken childhood. Mulberry 5-8024 is not a roadmap. Everyone's journey is different. It's ultimately a landscape of what healing looks like when you're driven by love.
