Surviving Our Parents' Mistakes: Healing The Scars From Childhood Mistreatment

As a psychologist with thirty years of clinical experience, I see the essence of many of the clients with whom I have worked contained in Godwin's vignettes. He offers us a pound of his flesh and a slice of his soul. I appreciate the brevity and pungency of his intensely personal journey from victim to survivor. The result is a work that offers mirrors in which all of us can see parts of ourselves reflected. --Paul W. Moomaw, Ph.D. SURVIVING OUR PARENTS' MISTAKES is one man's story about recovery from childhood emotional neglect. In concise entries from my personal journals, I narrate early memories which compromised my life as an adult, and what I have done to heal old wounds. ?This is a frankly honest, open, heartfelt narrative that is accessible and real. My strategies will help other abused victims. "I am reading it for the third time. You have helped me so much. Thank you so for finally writing about the abuse that isn't seen." "You wrote a beautiful book in plain English that is easy to understand. It gave me deep insight into my life, growing up and the formative years. I can relate to many passages, feelings and emotions that you share. I highly recommend this book to my therapist for other clients that are in the same situation. I sent a copy of your book to each of my four children." "This book made me feel not so alone, the way Larry talks about his feelings made me feel he was one with my thoughts. I felt like Larry and I shared a common ground and it was as if he understood everything I'd been through with the toughest times with my parents. I most enjoy how fluently Larry writes, I'm able to read his book as if I was listening to him speak the words himself. I appreciate every aspect of this book and recommend it highly to anyone and feel like there is something for everyone to benefit from Larry's point of view."
