Have you been hurt by the people you loved; people who you thought were supposed to support you and protect you?

Have you watched your world come apart right in front of your eyes, when the person you loved the most, the person who was the center of your world, turns their back and walks away from you?

Have you found yourself in a place like this, wondering, suffering, and blaming yourself for someone’s betrayal?

Are you buried in trauma wondering how you will ever get free, and live a normal happy life?

If you have answered yes, let this book be your encouragement that it is indeed possible to heal from the scars of trauma.

Let this story of my journey to healing after abandonment, rejection, and abuse be proof that you can walk through darkness and come out in even a brighter light. Let this be your story of hope, and your flashlight, during those dark moments when you think you can’t make it.

You are here because you have been looking for a way out, wondering if here is anything in the world you can do to erase what has happened to you. You wonder if there is a way you can talk to your loved one, and find out why they didn’t protect you or love you as they were supposed to. You try to find closure, but no explanation is good enough. It seems like you cannot move on.

Are you wondering:

How will I ever be okay after what happened to me?

Will I ever be able to forgive that person?

Will I ever stop blaming myself?

Can I ever live a normal life without the guilt, the regrets, and resentment?

How can I recover from this trauma and stop looking at the world through the lens of my pain?

Will I ever be able to be able to build happy and healthy relationships in the future?

It is hard; I know. I may not know exactly what you have been through or how you feel. But I have walked through a similar journey. I believe that I am in a position to understand you better.

Through my journey, you will be able to learn how to:

Learn to accept and live with the reality.
