Leaving the Dark House (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692749319)

Leaving the Dark House describes the survival of an abusive childhood with alcoholic, mentally ill parents only to discover that an even worse nightmare lie ahead - growing up to become just like them. Sometimes heartbreaking, but also darkly humorous, this tale shows that with grit and determination, your past is not necessarily an indicator of your future. This is the story of a broken family made up of shattered people. The brokenness had been ongoing for generations, each one successively crushing their children with abuse, domestic violence and the subsequent trauma. The odds of someone who grew up like that winding up as regular person, let alone becoming successful are extremely slim. Although this story relates one family's generational brokenness in the extreme, remember that we are all damaged to some degree. I am no longer that damaged person that grew out of generations of family violence, rage and alcoholism. If I can leave the dark house, anyone can if they work at it. My book can show you how. If you're in your own dark house and think that the odds are against you, keep in mind that the odds only matter if you're playing the odds.
