In life we are given several opportunities to get closer to our Dad. In this story I describe how my story is like that of the Lion and the King, a story told in India. A king is told that he will be killed and going to hell and out of his fear he tries to come up with a solution. The King finds out that if he is injured the lion who is a symbol of the devil will not kill him because the lion will not kill its prey if it is already injured. The King then decides to injure himself and therefore he will no longer fall victim to the lion because the lion likes a challenge, and the King is no longer a challenge since it is injured. The injured King then seeks to find comfort to his pain and his ...
I first started writing this book, I Am a Real Person, as therapy for myself. Although I’ve had help from various therapists and counsellors, there are some things that I have never been able to talk about or come to terms with, and writing this book has helped me. It tells of how and why I felt so worthless, even from a young age, and everything written is exactly how I remember it. From even before I was married, my life started to go downhill. At first, I believed it would pick up, but after years of abuse I came to the conclusion that it would never change, and I just wanted out. Until things went from bad to worse and something was said to me that made me realise I had to do something positive. I hope that my story will offer encouragement to anyone going through something similar. There is always a way out, however difficult it may seem.
From a small child I was always told, “Don’t tell anyone the things happening within the household or what happens in my house stays in my house. Behind closed doors should be kept a secret. People snickered behind the backs of the people they should help. What was supposed to be a mechanism to build a healthy family relationship, ended up keeping me bound in fear. I was failed by societies don’t tell policy not being extracted from our home. In a small town Justice doesn’t prevail for our children. Falling prey to savages who tell you they love you” but within the same minute, harming you happens often to children. Their life becomes a living hell, searching for a way out and for someone’s Love without pain infliction. The Don’t tell” policy has been lifted by this six year old girl without damaged growth and now the secrets out.
Society played a part in the death of my baby brother. The demand for perfection and what was deemed acceptable by our everyday standards helped mold a fragile frame in a young man's mind. The security and resolution I needed was never to be found within the realms of the everyday working world. I learned to reconcile with what you may unfairly call the "ills of society". I found not only resolve, but also harmony within the world, a world that all members of our populace are exposed to in their lives and is part of a culture, even if you chose to ignore it, is one we all live in. I'm not only lucky enough, but also privileged to have been welcomed and accepted in this world, and here their stories will show that this syndicate are of the same making of us all. For me and my brothers none of our heroes wore capes.
"Four years after having published my book with Trafford, a subsidiary of AuthorHouse, I was still getting phone calls from their high-powered phone salespeople, known as marketing consultants, to persuade me to buy their expensive marketing gimmicks. I must admit that I had given in far too often in the past, and they were quite sure they could continue to milk my bank account. Almost immediately buyer's remorse set in with a vengeance. How could I do this! I know this is a scam, why am I so stupid? I'm supposed to be a reasonably intelligent woman! Nothing they've ever done on my behalf has had the slightest impact on book sales. Super expensive services with nothing to show for them. How could I have let them talk me into kicking Lucy's football again? Again! Am I the only fool? Have others had the same experiences with these people? I decided to look a bit more extensively into what I came to realize was the AuthorHouse Scam, and have written this book to share my experiences and findings with other authors and potential authors."
Life..... Such a simple four lettered word, with so many choices, consequences, struggles, ups and downs. The neighborhood I lived in was filled with drugs, poverty and crime. This book is about my life how I survived how I dealt with and lived it. There were no walks in the park, caviar or limos. Just an awkward hand I was left to play! I grew up with roaches, rats, gangsters and block parties, how did you?
