Publisher Description
Growing up with a mother who has mental issues is hard for anyone but most especially for a child. The ups and the downs of bipolar disorder leave many people feeling inadequate or unworthy. The abuse suffered can be physical or mental or, in this case, both.
This book follows the path of a woman who reveals the secrets an abused child must keep, the struggle that comes with finding herself, the battle of finding self-worth, and the difficulty of accepting kindness from others. The mental and physical abuse suffered leaves everlasting effects on the lives of not just this young woman but her siblings, her children, and even her grandchildren.
After escaping the physical abuse, the emotional scars are still present and will remain for the majority of her life. It took many years and the deaths of her sister and mother to finally learn to let go of the anguish of living with her abusive mother. The scars are still ever present, but the journey to healing, contentment, and acceptance has allowed her to grow past the trauma and to find joy in her life.
