Earning My Parents' Love: Trying to Grow Up in Alcoholism, Violence & Dysfunction (Letters from an Adult Child of Alcoholism, Violence & Dysfunction) (Volume 1) 1st edition

What makes this story extraordinary is the author tells it from the perspective of being in the experience as a child. In this book, it is easy to see how childhood experiences often hold adult answers. The reader of this story innocently ends up assessing his or her own upbringing. The story speaks to anyone who has ever had parents. In this story, we realize that sometimes we just have to return to childhood in order to say good-bye. While this book makes us laugh & cry, its true power comes through family redemption! This is a rare work because it is told entirely in the voice of a child who is untiringly trying to earn his parents love while also trying to grow up. It is a luminous demonstration of family emotions. When childhood is a struggle for survival there is scant energy left for growing up. This book movingly reveals the consequences of that type childhood and offers deliverance. The genesis of the story is the author could not remember his childhood; it was suggested he start writing from his earliest recollection as a way of nurturing childhood memories. When he did, the voice of the child he once was, was passionate & direct. The author grew up in a home of alcoholism, violence, and dysfunction; yet, had no idea this experience created its own evolving trauma.
