Emotionally Unstable Mumma

Emotionally Unstable Mumma is a raw, unflinching memoir that traces the emotional journey of Amy Rose-survivor of the 1996 Dunblane massacre-through decades of trauma, instability, and healing.

At just eight years old, Amy's childhood was violently shattered when a mass shooting at her primary school took the lives of sixteen classmates and a teacher. Though she escaped physical harm, the psychological scars ran deep, altering her sense of safety, self, and trust in the world. What followed was a life marked by emotional chaos: undiagnosed trauma, mislabelled behaviours, sexual abuse, toxic relationships, self-harm, and suicide attempts.

Told in brutally honest, emotionally rich prose, this memoir takes readers deep inside the mind of a woman battling the invisible forces of emotional instability-traits often aligned with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)-while navigating motherhood, relationships, and the search for peace. Amy's story is not just about survival; it's about reclaiming identity, breaking generational cycles, and finding beauty in brokenness.

With unshakable vulnerability and fierce compassion, Amy offers a powerful message: that healing is messy, nonlinear-and always possible. For anyone who has ever felt too much, not enough, or lost in the shadows of trauma, Emotionally Unstable Mumma is both a mirror and a map.
