As such, and in line with Mumsnet not seeing “anything wrong with honest feedback” I would like to make the comment that Coming Clean as a Memoir falls short due to the shaky and not entirely truthful narrative. I think we are being goaded into doing something that will breach the "guidelines" and get us taken down again. MN are obviously well within their rights to delete threads if they demonstrably fail to comply with their guidelines, nevertheless I feel strongly that MN posters are given a platform to critique this book, and also any other public ventures by this author. I think it’s a very important subject as is written by a ‘proclaimed’ parental expert famous for targeting books to mothers. It’s a memoir, a diary, and account of one person’s experiences of it – but I hope it might change the way we think and talk about addiction, open people’s minds to both sides of this all-too-common human experience, encourage dialogue and mutual support, break stigmas and provide support for those who need it.Love Island All Stars fans slam Liberty Poole for crying over Mitchel Taylor again despite pair's bitter split: 'They broke up like 10 times!

But what I really struggled was the way in which she claimed to be the victim of the abuse by an alcoholic and suffered such terrible things as a result of Mike’s addiction. Liz Fraser's frank, lucid and sometimes funny, often upsetting account of living with a chronic alcoholic brought back so many memories, none of them good, and, after finishing the book this morning I turned to my wife and thanked her for standing by me when I didn't deserve her love and support. Some of that is because of the shame of active alcoholism and some of that may be the secrecy around a lot of the twelve step programmes that help both alcoholics and those affected by alcoholism to recover. It might be my dream to be here, but for his sake and the sake of our child and our relationship, we need to stop the drama, stop the chaos, move back closer to support networks and have a rethink”? I feel like she had a vision of a picture perfect life she could have with a sexy barrister and clung onto that vision despite every sign and signal telling her it wasn’t going to become reality.Part diary, part travel journal and part love letter, Coming Clean is the true story of addiction of many kinds, mental collapse and heartbreak.
