Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of rape, incest, broken bones, blackened eyes and murder. Murder, you gasp! Yes, the murder of innocence of three children in North Carolina in the 1950s and 1960s. To say it was a dysfunctional family is much too kind. But it has been said that a young child remains dependent, even devoted, to the parents who brutalize him or her because they are the only parents and the only experience the child knows. I am telling only my story. My sister and brother have a story that is only theirs to tell. Now that my story is finally told, I hope I will be able to put it to rest at last. If I can use what happened to me to help others, that is the biggest lesson I have learned. Maybe my suffering can be used to save other children and women. That is my plan.

Download or read book My Dad the Paedophile written by Orsiela Wiese and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a biography of a girl that suffered tremendouchild abuse at the hand of her father from the age of two years old. Her father, a paedophile, used various techniques to sexually groom her as a child; which included acts of torture to obey. Her mother turned a blind eye to hold onto financial assistance from the father. The molestation gradually grew to drug-induced rapes and hypnotism to not remember the rapes. After two abortions before the age of eighteen, she started suffering from Traumatic Amnesia and Disassociative Amnesia to learn to cope. She lived with amnesia not knowing about her childhood abuse, until she turned thirty-two years old and starting having flashbacks of what happened to her. This left her feeling that she was slowly losing her mind. Did her twin brother also suffer the sexual abuse? Was her mother also subjected to the amnesia? This is her journey to healing from the traumatic abuse. This journey includes the flashbacks as it happened, at the exact time it happened.Extract:"Every time I kneel over her to give her the breath of live, I feel her lips... soft... slightly warm... pink in the inside. Oh no! Her eyes are halfway open, but it is lifeless. How could her mother just let her on her own at the swimming pool if she could not swim? Could nobody see that she was in trouble? I hear a man say, "I was in the pool about ten to fifteen minutes ago, and stepped on something soft on the bottom. I did not know it was her." I wanted to scream "Good Lord! Why did you not at least just look to see what it was?For a while, I am lost. Then I see my son Rico (9 years old) and my daughter Estralita (11 years old) still standing there. Their father passed away not even four months ago! They need me. How must they feel experiencing a second accidental death in four months? Never did I know that this event would change my life, and make me whole again. Only later could I understand why I took this incident so personal, and why I saw myself in little Rose.I started getting flashbacks that made no sense to me:"I hear 'whoop' as he pulls the blankets off me. I am freezing cold. I am naked, lying on my back. The light is on in my room. I am so cold. It is taking so long... I wish he would just finish so I could get my blankets back. Please cover me with the blankets, before you carry on raping me. I can't speak. I can't move. Please just cover me. I am freezing cold. Please... The cold is becoming as big as my mind. Or, am I making it that big not to focus on what is happening? I can't think of anything else. It is so cold. Please cover me. I can't cover myself. Why is he taking so long? All I want is my blankets. That is all, just my blankets. Please. How could he be such a monster that he does not even realize that I am freezing? I want to cry. I know that I can't do anything about this. I know that I have to wait. "God, I am so cold. It is me Aleiso, please help me." I must resist the cold, because that is all I can do... Is there somebody out there that can come and cover me? Help me! My whole body is shaking from the inside right down to my hands. I have never been this cold before in my life. "Please. I am begging you. Won't you please just finish? Or at least just cover me, and then you carry on. I can not move a finger." I surrender. It is not going to happen. I have to wait. It takes long. I cry. I become despondent. Then I feel the blankets fall over my shoulders. It is immediately a bit warmer. I am eternally thankful. Thank you. It feels much better. You are done. Now I can sleep again. Thank you very much Dad. Without further ado, I like you again. You were nice to me now by covering me with the blankets. It is nice and warm. I am going to sleep now...."I woke up in my son's room. There were seven blankets over me, but I was shaking like a leaf. "Where am I? Was there somebody in the house? No! I have been raped! By my Dad? No, it cn't be. I am losing my mind!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: first paperback edition: To the outside world, Walter de Milly's father was a prominent businessman, a dignified Presbyterian, and a faithful husband; to Walter, he was an overwhelming, handsome monster. This paperback edition of In My Father's Arms: A Son's Story of Sexual Abuse adds a reflective preface by the author and a foreword by Richard B. Gartner, author of Beyond Betrayal: Taking Charge of Your Life after Boyhood Sexual Abuse. "A sensitive and compelling account of father-son incest. In spite of the suffering portrayed, the account also gives testimony to the strength of family bonds, and to the courage and resilience of the human spirit."—Fred S. Berlin, MD, Director of the National Institute for the Study, Prevention and Treatment of Sexual Trauma "This is the most detailed and utterly plausible account I've ever read of what it feels like to be an abused child, and it is told with cinematic presence and verisimilitude. The anger, the love, the evasiveness and jealousy and confusion, the need to dissociate oneself from one's own actions and reactions—all are presented in a harrowing narrative, which is as tragic as a Greek drama and as engrossing as a Victorian novel. The unexpected element in this book—which falls on it like manna—is its nourishing, exquisite lyricism."—Edmund White, author of A Boy's Own Story cloth: "Walter de Milly has written a sensitive and compelling account of father-son incest. In spite of the suffering portrayed, the account also gives testimony to the strength of family bonds, and to the courage and resilience of the human spirit."—Fred S.

The unexpected element in this book—which falls on it like manna—is its nourishing, exquisite lyricism."—Edmund White The TV-perfect family of Walter de Milly III was like many others in the American South of the 1950s—seemingly close-knit, solidly respectable, and active in the community. Tragically, Walter's deeply troubled father would launch his family on a perilous journey into darkness. To the outside world, this man is a prominent businessman, a dignified Presbyterian, and a faithful husband; to Walter, he is an overwhelming, handsome monster. Whenever the two are together, young Walter becomes a sexual plaything for his father; father and son outings are turned into soul-obliterating nightmares. Walter eventually becomes a successful businessman only to be stricken by another catastrophe: his father, at the age of seventy, is caught molesting a young boy. Walter is asked to confront his father. Walter convenes his family, and in a private conference with a psychiatrist, the father agrees to be surgically castrated. De Milly's portraits of his relationships with his father and mother, and the confrontation that leads to his father's bizarre and irreversible voluntary "cure," are certain to be remembered long after the reader has set aside this powerful contribution to the literature of incest survival. Walter de Milly is a writer living in Key West, Florida.

Download or read book The Boy in the Cellar written by Stephen Smith and published by John Blake. This book was released on 2019-12-26 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Smith is the boy who did not exist. Born out of wedlock in the early 1960s, Steve's parents hid him away from the world by locking him in the cellar...for thirteen years. Starved and beaten, the little boy's world was a darkened room that measured just eight feet by ten with a single makeshift bed, bare light bulb, and a solitary table. Steve would spend his days conjuring up an imaginary world full of monsters he would draw to try and block out the physical and mental torture inflicted on him by his brutal father. Apart from a few admissions to hospital as a result of his 'imprisonment', Steve remained in the coal cellar of the family home where he was deprived of daylight, his childhood, school, and human contact until he'd reached his teenage years. Eventually, he escaped only to fall prey to the instigators of two of the worst cases of institutional abuse in the UK at Aston Hall hospital and St. William's Catholic School. The Boy in the Cellar is a horrifying true story of torture and cruelty, that reveals a human's full capacity to fight for survival and search out happiness and hope.
Download or read book On Christian Ethics written by Basilius (Caesariensis) and published by Popular Patristics Series. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Basil was a towering figure in the fourth-century Church. In the midst of great controversy, he led the charge of those faithful to the doctrine proclaimed at Nicaea. For the bishop of Caesarea, the array of false teachings that plagued the Church was not merely a matter of conflicting opinions or interpretations. It was rather a result of the moral failure of so-called leaders of the Church to look first to the will of God revealed in Scripture as their compass in all things-in matters of both theology and personal conduct. Here St. Basil lays out a consistent theological ethic, rooted in a nuanced appreciation for the supremacy of Scripture. These texts, presented with the Greek on the facing page, are essential reading for anyone interested in early Christian approaches to ethics as well as the right use and interpretation of the Bible.

Book excerpt: A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book for 2011 A Globe and Mail Best Books of the Year 2011 Title Tiger, Tiger is a Publishers Weekly Best Nonfiction title for 2011 A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction of 2011 title One summer day, Margaux Fragoso meets Peter Curran at the neighborhood swimming pool, and they begin to play. She is seven; he is fifty-one. When Peter invites her and her mother to his house, the little girl finds a child's paradise of exotic pets and an elaborate backyard garden. Her mother, beset by mental illness and overwhelmed by caring for Margaux, is grateful for the attention Peter lavishes on her, and he creates an imaginative universe for her, much as Lewis Carroll did for his real-life Alice. In time, he insidiously takes on the role of Margaux's playmate, father, and lover. Charming and manipulative, Peter burrows into every aspect of Margaux's life and transforms her from a child fizzing with imagination and affection into a brainwashed young woman on the verge of suicide. But when she is twenty-two, it is Peter—ill, and wracked with guilt—who kills himself, at the age of sixty-six. Told with lyricism, depth, and mesmerizing clarity, Tiger, Tiger vividly illustrates the healing power of memory and disclosure. This extraordinary memoir is an unprecedented glimpse into the psyche of a young girl in free fall and conveys to readers—including parents and survivors of abuse—just how completely a pedophile enchants his victim and binds her to him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six-year-old Gretl Schmidt is on a train bound for Auschwitz. Jakób Kowalski is planting a bomb on the tracks. As World War II draws to a close, Jakób fights with the Polish resistance against the crushing forces of Germany and Russia. They intend to destroy a German troop transport, but Gretl’s unscheduled train reaches the bomb first. Gretl is the only survivor. Though spared from the concentration camp, the orphaned German Jew finds herself lost in a country hostile to her people. When Jakób discovers her, guilt and fatherly compassion prompt him to take her in. For three years, the young man and little girl form a bond over the secrets they must hide from his Catholic family. But she can’t stay with him forever. Jakób sends Gretl to South Africa, where German war orphans are promised bright futures with adoptive Protestant families—so long as Gretl’s Jewish roots, Catholic education, and connections to communist Poland are never discovered. Separated by continents, politics, religion, language, and years, Jakób and Gretl will likely never see each other again. But the events they have both survived and their belief that the human spirit can triumph over the ravages of war have formed a bond of love that no circumstances can overcome.
