The Bad One: A Memoir About Growing Up a Goat

family looked perfect from the outside, but to those inside it, it was anything but. From a young age, Erin found herself the receptacle for the toxicity that poured out of her parents. She became their scapegoat. Destroyed relationships, suicidal tendencies, repressed rage and selfhatred, seeking out monsters to love her-as an adult, Erin lived through the storm her childhood created, an emotional journey that felt like constant agony. Writing was her way out. Erin's story of how she discovered her own reality, learned to trust her experience, and went from the bad one to the happiness of a chosen family is real, honest, and a call to empowerment for every scapegoat out there.
