Yeah, I haven't read I'm Glad My Mom Died, but from what I've heard, anyone would be kind of glad. What a horrible monster of a human.
It's also interesting because I was watching a clip from an interview, where she and Drew Barrymore were touching on how you're really not supposed to speak ill of the dead. I was thinking how that's true even in non-drastic situations, where the deceased may have been a lovely person, but all people are flawed, yet as soon as they die, they were perfect human beings who never did a bad thing ever. Now of course in Jeanette McCurdy's case, and perhaps Drew Barrymore's, these were not "good but flawed" people, I'm just saying in general. And how it's magnified when it IS a bad person. If something hurt you, it hurt you, and you're allowed to talk about it.
ETA: Not to mention all the people in between the examples I just listed.
