There are so many adults suffering today because of childhood abuse.People don't even know about most of the cases. What and why. What a suvivor. Carl Theodore could have given his family a better life. There are a lot of sick parents in this world. Some parents and family have truely been mean to chidren and ruined lives. What would make a person want to inflict pain on his own children.
I hope they have grown closer and supportive of each other. Wayne Theodore I appreciate this book. I hope Wayne's brothers and sisters come to realize how wonderful Wayne is. And do you know what, the abusers are crazy enough to wonder why those that they have abused have problems in life. His son mentioned him having money in his pockets.But he chose not to be a good provider. Can you just imagine how many sick people are taking advantage of children. Their children are sometimes the product of their wickness.
I think the way he rises above everything to be the person he is today, is a lesson to us all. It takes a lot of courage to face your fear, and in this book Wayne faces and confronts his hideous past. Bringing to light his repressed memories of his upbringing. This book is a good read, i could not put it down. I read the whole book all in one sitting.
i just read this book it was really good, i could'nt put it down,it told really good stories about what he had went throgh as a child.
I enjoyed this book tremendously. It's important for adult survivors of child abuse to get our message out. Thank you, Wayne.
