      I disagree. She is far from a great woman . She has always been selfish and even stole the medicine from patients and took them for herself. She pit patients in harms way by doing that. She apparently was never caught but should have had her nursing credentials stripped.

    My dad has the disease of addiction…it really does destroy a family. I thank God everyday for gifting me the wonderful mother I was blessed to have. She stayed married to my father through it all and was strong for my brother and I. I believe God gave her graces beyond measure to raise us. My father has been clean and sober now for about 31 years. My Freshmen year of high school was when it hit it’s peak….I’m 46 years old now and my beloved mother passed away in 2020. JD is relatable to many Americans who have the broken story…I myself never got hung up in the alcohol and addiction world, but that’s how it goes…you either see it’s affects and hate it so much you don’t want anything to do with it or you get trapped and have trouble getting out because you never learn good coping skills. JD had God and other family that were there for him to rise above and clearly for his mom as well.

    You are human and you had an addiction. It is truly amazing that you were able to overcome and begin to heal, forgive and mend the hurt, but your actions and choices caused great harm to everyone who loved you. You will never be able to fully understand the damage that it causes to developing young children who are innocent and when robbed of basic security...some of those scars will last a lifetime. I am proud of your sobriety....but I am sorry...you won't win "mother of the year" award. You chose drugs and men over your biological children. That is the ugly truth. I wish you continued success, happiness and most of all....the love and grace you deserve as you go forward. The future is yours to make up for the past.

    What I got out of his book was that producing a child is a huge responsibility and once you have one you should take responsibility for that kid and do the best you can for that child bc the child did not ask to be born. There is no doubt that his childhood being so bad must have caused him a lot of heartbreak, disappointment and damaged his psyche.

    Wow! This is an amazing interview and I just finished your son's book and I have a lot of respect for him and where he has come but also for you and where you have come. Sitting in the audience last night at the RNC you looked amazing and I am so glad he cognized your tenure of sobriety. I am just over 1 year.

    I have alot of Bowman's in my Family. Most originally from around Owsley County, and other Counties in Berea, Kentucky. J.D's biological Father is probably a blood Relative of mine. Very interesting life story. I can relate to some "select" parts of it.

    Spins that “through his eyes” puts space between her responsibility and the pain she caused , sent with grandparents….. I can relate to the pain he expressed . I feel bad for he and sister- limited remorse.

      I see it as the opposite of what you said. I took it as it must have been so overwhelming and frighting as a child who could not understand the severity of her addiction or the trauma of her own childhood that she experienced. It looks like the generational cycle of addiction/domestic abuse has come to an end and healing is now in the process. May this families healing continue. 🙏🙏

    I was not that extreme but I was Bev!! Unfortunately, 2 of my 3 girls have now gone ‘no contact’ (I guess that’s the ‘in’ thing to do these days with their generation) but my Kaley is he JD. She’s proud of how I overcame, fought and who I’ve become today. I’m 6+ years clean. She understands I was self medicating and undiagnosed mental illness (bipolar) and did the best I could. She loves unconditionally and I am so grateful for that. I hope my older two would watch this movie and show some empathy. Again and unfortunately, we live in a narcissistic society where everyone is all about “me, me, me” and that is not how they were raised but I know and take accountability for the damage I’ve caused and have apologized and done so much to make up for it. In fact the no contact situation is new (last year) and we were all good so 🤷‍♀️.
    I’m proud of Bev and JD! I know he will make an exceptional Vice President and look forward to voting for him and Trump this November!! ❤

    Listened to the audiobook today , highly recommended , it’s not too long, only about 6.5 hours. He really sheds light on this rarely discussed yet highly pathological culture in this country. But it’s also inspiring! Amazing to see his Mom in person, she sounds a little bit manipulative for sure, but also like she’s made some improvements in her life. I sure hope she has. I would like to hear her side of the story of when she tried to crash the car with her and her son in it.

    Seems like she's still making excuses. I just read that they still have a strained relationship. The fact that it's from the standpoint of a child isn't really accurate. He wrote it as an adult from his memories. Something that caused us pain as a child can still cause pain years later. It can't go back and be changed.

    Addiction is something that the addict creates for itself that’s what I see you don’t put your hands in the fire when you know what will happen, and in no way shape or form an excuse for abandoning your own Child the only person in the world that should love you and teach, protect you and be there for you choose to enjoy herself

    I have SO much respect for JD. He overcame his mother's appalling behavior. What is this woman's problem? What is the problem with her? She should have already known to grow up. I have SO little appreciation for this woman. She ALREADY hurt his feelings/childhood. I have immediate family members who have struggled, but didn't do HEROIN or OPIOIDS!
    She is trying to rationalize her bad behavior. She doesn't think she was that bad a mother? What the hell does she mean? Her hindsight is blurred.

      It's the situation here, I'm never going to say anything she did or does is okay, but to understand what people go trough you have to at least see it. Middletown how most of butler county's section 8 housing, that brings idle hands to the community, we have 2 major employers cliffs formally AK steel, and the hospital. We have had constant problems with other towns bussing in homeless. It's middletown because it's between Cincinnati and Dayton so drug runners stop here to flood middletowns downtrodden. She shouldn't have done what she did but I don't think she was in her right mind. Some people are bad people and some people are made bad people I can't tell what one she was.
