The author’s sincerest intent is giving a voice to the seventy to eighty million adult-children (every generation) to those reticent reflections of abused kids. Exposing the extremely detrimental side effects of PTSD born from child abuse is paramount to this motive.
At 62 years of age, he has had an “Ah haaa!” destiny moment after reading John Harrell novelette, “Killing my father, then finding him.”. It is his utmost wish that his unvarnished expose may lead you to your “Ah haaa!” destiny moment much sooner in your life than he did in his...
Stumbling across John’s novelette was the final piece of Tommy’s psychological puzzle falling into place. John’s symptoms from PTSD aligned perfectly with Tommy’s. In a crystalizing moment, it made perfect sense! Tommy’s first psychotherapy session affirmed what he had already learned from John’s short read. Tommy had been suffering from undiagnosed, extreme PTSD for nearly 60 years.
Tommy has led a rather nondescript life and at countless times, a lesson in futility. He has incessantly struggled his entire life with undiagnosed symptoms from extreme PTSD. Most notably, “learned behavior” had unknowingly stifled his potential, leading to a lifelong exercise in the frustrating shadows of failure and mediocrity. His entire life was an effort to “fail forward”...
Tommy’s lifelong odyssey of recovery therapy and self enlightenment has led to self affirmation. The realization that “I can read, I can think, therefore I am”. The self realization that we are capable of walking our way to self help and eventually therapeutic resolution.
If you were an abused child or know someone who might have been, it would behoove you take in this relatively short read… Finally a book written about abused children by an abused child. If you suffer from grief, depression, self deprecation born from child abuse, you are probaby suffering from PTSD... If you are easily aroused, angered or are prone to anxiety, no matter what the cause, won’t you please come walk with him, “Insearch of the fighter pilot’s wife”.view less
