Publisher Description: Emotional Child Abuse is real and causes both emotional and physical damage to a child. Geoffrey Addams was a gifted student athlete suffering from chronic childhood depression as a result of the emotional battering from a psychopathic father and narcissist mother. This memoir, written in the first hand by Geoffrey, chronicles Geoffrey's struggles to reconcile his world with the very different one that unfolded before his eyes every night on his favorite TV family sitcoms. At age 12 Geoffrey purchased a stand-up comedian's comedy record to listen to and emulate the back ground audience laughter in an attempt to teach himself how to laugh, something at the age of 12 Geoffrey had not yet learned how to do. This inspiring memoir is Geoffrey's first hand account of survival and 40 year struggle to claw his way out of the deep dark hole of childhood depression and into the light and warmth of the sunshine of a new day and hope. |
