Story4.5 out of 5 stars 184
Raised in the suburb of Riverside, California, 20-year-old college student Jason Bautista endured for years his emotionally disturbed mother's verbal and psychological abuse. She even locked him out of the house, tied him up with electrical cord, and on one occasion, gave him a beating that sent him to the emergency room. On the night of January 14, 2003, Jason strangled his mother. To keep authorities from identifying her body, he chopped off her head and hands, an idea he claimed he got from watching an episode of the hit TV series The Sopranos.

Sad but a good story.

I was surprised how good the narration was considering it was AI. It was the first one I could actually listen to. It is a sad story about how mental health is ignored by family and ends tragically.

A best seller in its native Canada, Drunk Mom is a gripping, brutally honest memoir of motherhood in the shadow of alcoholism. Three years after giving up drinking, Jowita Bydlowska found herself throwing back a glass of champagne like it was ginger ale. It was a special occasion: a party celebrating the birth of her first child. It also marked Bydlowska's immediate, full-blown return to crippling alcoholism.

Thank you so much for sharing your struggle. Addiction is so misunderstood. My husband has been fighting it for years. He hid it so well from me and everyone. Your story is a reminder to anyone who is struggling or knows someone struggling that there is hope. Hang in there. Love those that continue to fail. Educate yourself about addiction. There is a reason. You just might not understand what it is and the addict doesn’t know either. Great book. Thank you again.
