I'm So Glad You're Here is the story of a family disrupted by
ramifications of a father's mental illness. The memoir opens with a
riveting account of Gay, age eighteen, witnessing her father being
bound in a straitjacket and carried out of the house on a
stretcher. The trauma she experiences escalates when, after her
father has had electroshock treatments at a state mental hospital,
her parents leave her in a college dorm room and move from
Massachusetts to Florida without her. She feels abandoned. Both her
parents have gone missing. Decades later, when Gay and her three
much-older siblings show up for their father's funeral, she
witnesses her sundered family's inability to gather together.
Eventually, she is diagnosed with PTSD of abandonment and treated
with EMDR therapy-and finally begins to heal. Poignant and
powerful, I'm So Glad You're Here is Gay's exploration of the idea
that while the wounds we carry from growing up in fractured
families stay with us, they do not have to control us-a reflective
journey that will inspire readers to think about their own
relational lives.
