Hi Mimi, I understand your point - and that is certainly an important part of the story for sure - :) And it could be very true for that genre-specific audience of memoir readers.
We write and read memoir to enhance compassion and a sense of universality. Spending most of my life as a human doing I’m now grateful to accept the fact that I am a human BEING. I say now that I am in a relationship with myself. Our society is so hyper focused on goals/results. We often lose sight of the process.
I love Mel Robbin's book, Let Them. And yes, let them say whatever they will say. That will not change the worth of your story and your words. 💜
I believe the memoir genre readers want to know how you FELT about it. That’s a very powerful narrative.
