Product Description
by Melissa Malikowski (Author)
This is a harrowing story about narcissistic abuse, neglect, mental and emotional trauma. This book is also about a journey through healing, forgiveness and understanding. It's about a very human individual and her life journey up to this point in time.
The book talks about mistakes made, misfortune and climbing up from the valleys and getting to the peaks in life from the brink of suicide. I have to admit, it is an epic story. It is the most difficult story she has had to ever write. There were many tears and words written at 2am.
It talks about a family who has endured trauma throughout 2 or likely more generations and how 2 individuals passed the trauma to their child(ren). They simply did not know that there was a better way to go and raise children.
This book is my story. I hope to share it to help others. Again, if this story helps one person to heal, I've done my job.
