Opis

Mothers are supposed to be loving, nurturing, and protective, right? At least that's what little Sissy believed. Yet this innocent child was subjected to unimaginable abuses and tortures at the hands of her own mother. Her father left when she was just two, leaving her and her siblings vulnerable to a mother who was fighting her own demons. Her family then moved-in with her mother's uncle where she shared a single bedroom with her sisters and mother until she was 18 years old. The abuse that she suffered during those years would be too much for any child to bear. She spent years struggling through confusion, terror, fear, the constant shattering of hopes, while trying desperately to find ways to rectify the incomprehensible fact that her own mother was a "monster. As a form of self-protection, her psyche split into many personalities just to survive the constant and terrifying torments. Her little body and mind used these personalities to escape reality, a reality where memories got buried and time gaps were some of the unconscious coping mechanisms to deal with being tortured by the one person who was supposed to love and nurture you. This book is the story of her many struggles and ultimate triumph from being an abused and fractured child to a happy integrated adult. One who has risen above and beyond the depths of the pain into a life of freedom, internal peace, and happiness. How she found the path to this freedom will be an inspiration to anyone who has been abused at the hands of those meant to be our protectors.
