Memories of My Grandfather

Call Me Crazy, But This Is My Life!
This is a book about my life. How I went through physical, mental and sexual abuse and survived it. How I kept my sense of humor through it all. The first chapter is a little hard to read, and I have thought about re-writing it, but I don't think it would be any easier. It is hard to tell a story about things that you do not remember. I know the facts and that is how the first chapter comes out, as stating facts. After getting past the facts, the story is easier to tell. The reason for writing this book, is to let other abuse victims know that they are not alone. I also want people to know it is okay to tell someone and to know what signs to look for if you suspect abuse. The message is the most important part. If you have been abused, this book may be triggering. Read with care.
