I may be in the wrong place. I don't see any post by males. I am a 57 yr. old male who grew up in a very brutal home. There was no sex stuff. Just a lot of violence and emotional trauma.
I became an alcoholic drug addict as a young adult and joined A.A as a young man (27 yrs.old) I have been sober 21yrs. Thru the years, I have spent a lot of time in counseling, etc. I consider myself pretty much recovered these days. But, I will never forget. There have been a lot of struggles and heart-ache along the way. Divorce, lose of children, etc. Abused people tend to act out.
I feel I have learned a lot and have a desire to give back for what I have been given.
I am attempting to write a book about my family and what I have learned.
I would like to ask you folks to go to the writers guild page on the hobby forum here on C.F. and read both "Hi, I'm new here" and "This may be the foreword to the book". Please post your comments and thoughts. You may find the foreward a little hard to read because when I pasted the material into the forum, it did away with the paragraph indents and line spacing. I think you might find it interesting and I hope you will respond with your comments.
What is written in the foreword is the truth. Much of the book will be fictionalized to protect members of my family who do not wish to be exposed to public embarassment.
Please feel free to P.M. me here on C.F.
I wish for each of you PEACE and the JOY of living a life free from the past.
