“One day after school, I came home and saw my mother slumped on the couch. She’d been crying hard,” Amy wrote in her book The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo. “‘I am leaving your father. Lou and I have fallen in love with each other.’ I was a child, new to my teens, and she was treating me like a seasoned psychiatrist.”

Amy’s relationship with her mother never got better afterward, as she was a child when they left her father and she felt her mother manipulated her into standing with her.
