Killing My Self-Destruction: The Self-Help Memoir of a Nobody Who's Been Through It All, Paperback/Erich R. Allen

Descriere

Description Having begun his life as the youngest of three children in a blue-collar family from Syracuse, New York, his fate was quickly filled with a dynamism that included abuse, bullying, and intimidation. In this story of fear and violence, we see how a person is able to learn the arts of manipulation and control as a means to survive an abusive environment only to see those same characteristics come back to challenge them in adulthood. As he gradually took control of his life and began to succeed at the surface level, the lingering inner emotional detachment of this man would eventually lead him to a series of experiences, some good and some detrimental. Violence, war, betrayal, divorce, and heartbreak all characterize his life, but still he finds his way toward strength and, ultimately, clarity.
