What book will help me recover from the disaster of being raised by a mentally ill single mother?

Happened to me. You either cut off all contact and start a new life somewhere else or you become a writer. Both are equally unbearable. Good luck.

Lovecraft and Howard's books are bad for people with mommy-issues, even if they are great for everyone else.

Literature will not heal the wounds of your broken childhood. You need to fuck your dad.

I'm totally new to Lovecraft. Only read one short story by him.
Where do I start?
Any collection that is the best?
