2019 Re-Released
During the 50's and 60's it seemed to be a time when others preferred to just look the other way when it came to domestic abuse! It appeared that no one wanted to get involved. I grew up in one such home, I was broken and no one seemed to care!
"Why does he act that way" Is a question people often asked concerning me?
My life growing up was not full of on the battlefield drama. It does not contain heroic adventures. Instead my life spread out here before you and my offspring is a story of childhood abuse, despair and heartbreak.
From a very early age the abuse inflicted on a small child can and does create deep emotional wounds that can and often does affect a person's whole life course. As I remember looking back, if not for the two people in my life who became my protectors I may have turned out...a very different person.
My life story is one of torture and abuse, of searching for hope and solace in a world that seemed to be against me everywhere I turned. In time I did find the ability to believe in myself because others did first. I found true love! This is a story that must be told so that others will understand. "Why I am the way I am!"
