How to Forgive a Mam

Jeanette Knewe's new book is about her relationship with her mother. She spent ten years in therapy trying to find a place of forgiveness for her mam. The author says she tries not to use humour as a 'defence mechanism' When you first wrote the book, your sense of humor was "over compository and kind of flailing and obnoxious" You've gone through a world that was toxic because it was so different from yours - how do you cope? I think finding humor in those really intense moments can bring levity where it's necessary... i hope i've done that im with my mum.
