my new official thread for live-listening to mariah’s audiobook. i will come back to this thread as i go along. i will try to keep this reserved for “new” stories only. spoilers will be below warning chile #TMOMC

wayward chile: morgan violent. her father’s family made her feel safe. they lost connection after the divorce. her father’s side is very connected to the bl@ck church in harlem. she thinks that is why she is so spiritual today. it is in her bl00d

she sings sunflowers for alfred roy in the audiobook. beautiful chile

her nana reese instilled faith in her after the incident with police and mariah mentions that she felt a light inside of her. i think this is the basis of can’t take that away “there’s a light in me that shines brightly”

she made a joke about her family “they’re weird, but they’re okay” on an art piece when she was little. her father was very mad when she showed him. she said he told her later in life why that upset him. i am sad chile

she sings a little of bye bye. time to cry chile. alison made mariah perform “white rabbit” in a dark room with candles in front of all her teenage friends. this song was about drvgs and scary things. they were making a pseudo-seance and made mariah participate

alfred’s life was filled with fear of dehumanization because he of course is a bl@ck man in america. morgan was institutionalized. alison got pregnant. he was very worried about all his kids. alfred wouldn’t show up for all his plans with mariah. she got disappointed as a kid

she called her dad when recording vision of love. he liked it. she is a perfectionist with her music because of him. after she got two grammys, he said she should start producing to get more grammys like quincy jones.

singing outside livei think this is the story of drawing her family in school. chapter called “coloring outside the lines”

addie her grandmother said that mariah isn’t her father’s daughter. she made mariah dance for them to prove she is half bl@ck. she doesn’t like dancing now. it was like a measure of her bl@ckness

live version of art of letting go with background vocals. this is my favorite audible performance so far. well done mariah

chile mariah says that having multiracial families is not the cure for racism. i am so happy she finally said that. too many people think that having biracial kids makes racism go away. well done mariah

henry, one of her mother’s boyfriends, aimed a gvn at her and mariah. threatened to k!ll them and put their bodies in the fridge. they were about to drive away. her mother let her go back into the house for her cat, morris. what the fvck her mom is so weird.

her mom let dangerous people around her and didn’t clean her up. she sang with her mother in the car and mariah imitated her oprah voice chile this is funny. mariah laughed too but patricia got mad. she said “you should only hope to be half the singer i am”

she sang with pavarotti in 1999. pat was in the audience. she met leontyne price in 2005. patricia had the same vocal coach as leontyne. leontyne validated mariah

her mother made mariah feel like her competition. she was jealous of mariah. this explains a lot about why mariah is weird to some female artists. her mom started it.

petals live chile i am already crying. “dandelion tea” chapter. alison stories coming. i am so sad

mariah heard pat say to alfred “this one is mine! you will not beat this one.” they were already splitting as a family when mariah was little

pat never stood up for morgan and alison when they got in trouble with alfred. she only stood up for mariah. this explains why they were so jealous of her chile.

mariah sounds like she is going to cry in this chapter. she really loved alison chile

alison’s baby shower taught mariah to be prudish and protect herself. alison went to the philippines. mariah doesn’t know what happened to her there. mariah’s voice is cracking, she must have been crying while recording this. chile i am so sad for her

i need to pause chile this is so sad. i feel so sad for mariah and her sister.

alison one time dated a 60 year old man (chile that is disgusting). her and her mom got in a fight. alison took mariah to that man’s house and made her take a blue p!ll. she was drvgged. it was valium. she was 12

mariah still has nightmares about her times with alison. that old man ran the pr0stitution ring that alison was a part of. alison was trying to get mariah to join. chile this is so bad.

alison used to call mariah (still 12) and say she would k!ll herself. mariah as a child had to calm her down. chile- alison disappeared for a little bit but then said she and john would pick her up. it was just john and mariah in the car. oh chile-

he took her to a wh0rehouse chile but there were only old men there. she only remembers leaving in john’s car. he took her to a drive in and kissed her. an elderly caucasian man was staring at them. john took her home because the old man saw what was happening

john drove by her playing with her friends. she tried to hide. he drove away. she was scared. she unplugged her phone from the wall and stopped answering alison. “big sisters are supposed to protect you, not p!mp you out.” i can tell mariah is crying right now

her and alison had a tea party. her dad called her mom. he wanted to talk to mariah. alison did not want mariah to tell her dad that she was there. mariah was having fun and gave the phone to alison because they were joking.

alison yelled “no” and threw the boiling hot tea on mariah. the doctors had to remove her shirt from the skin on her shoulders, because the tea melted them together. her back had third degree burns. mariah bl@cked out from pain. it took years to heal.

all of this trauma is why she says she is eternally 12 chile. she is singing petals again. i am so sad

her mother never combed or washed her hair. pat is so dvmb who doesn’t wash their chile

mariah’s whole diva act is based on pat’s low voice and rasp.

she confirms that alfred’s father’s father is mixed but they don’t know by how much.

one of morgan’s friends randomly detangled her hair with a comb on a car ride. this is the beach story with her combed hair

mariah made friends in high school and convinced them to share clothes. she was tired of wearing the same clothes in rotation.

she dated an older guy in high school which is very weird because she is still in high school. he protected her though chile

my saving grace livelove it chile
