The Truth behind: "The Sex-Offender's Daughter"

https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Offenders-Daughter-Story-Survival-Against-ebook/dp/B0BBSV97VF

This book is raw and unfiltered. It is not for the faint of heart.

Do you know what happens to a child who is subjected to constant neglect, sexual abuse and trauma? 

Do you know what happens to the body and mind in a developing child? 

Are you a professional or studying to become a social worker, psychologist or therapist? 

This book was written for you because time must change. Any child who is suffering from trauma in any shape or form; is one too many. 

It must stop now.

This book is not for the faint of heart. It contains details of how harrowing sexual abuse and trauma can be for a young child. 

This memoir is my life, raw and unfiltered just like it happened as I grew up. It will make you feel desperate to help the girl in the book. It will make you angry. 

You can help, but not this girl because I grew up.

You can help the children who are being abused now in our society today. Look out for the signs from within my book, because these children do exist. Our children need us to speak up for them! Help them. Listen to them.

We owe our future generation at least a good childhood.

Sexual abuse is one of the worst tortures an individual can be exposed to. A developing child has not had any life experience of sex and has no idea as to what is happening to them and why.

It is terrifying and soul-destroying.

In this book, I tell my childhood story of a world of brutal sex-offenders, murderers and inconceivably neglectful adults.

My so-called father loaned me out to vicious sexual predators for their enjoyment.

I suffered sexual abuse throughout my childhood and desperately tried to seek help from the adults around me, who chose to ignore me.

A girl, deeply traumatized and forgotten by everyone in society - even doctors and psychologists turned me away when the evidence of abuse was obvious.

I was forced to witness several brutal murders believing that I was next.

Life is a gift and a blessing. Simply being alive is something most people take for granted without realizing how wonderful and precious it really is.

We are each born with a unique set of qualities and attributes. Realizing these as we set out on life’s journey should be everyone’s right.

Growing up is different for each and every one of us. Some of us are lucky enough to grow up in safety with loving parents in a stable home with no issues at all.

However, most of us have experienced some kind of trauma or setback at some point in our lifetimes.

* The sudden death of a loved one.

* Witnessing the prolonged pain of a loved one deteriorate and fade away each day from an incurable disease.

* A beloved pet suddenly having to be euthanised due to a horrific accident.

* Some couples battle divorce and their children get tangled up in the messiness of their fighting.

* Some families experience poverty and hardship, each day battling with making ends meet.

* Some people immerse themselves in their career working night and day for decades and then years later wondering what it was all for, as loneliness takes hold.

* Some people grow up in war and experience unspeakable violence and hatred.

Wherever our life journeys take us, it is our unique experiences that shape us along the way into the character we have. If it wasn’t for love, safety and support from the people around us to get through the most difficult setbacks, most of us would struggle.

What if a child never had love and protection? What if a child was always fearing death and stuck in a fight / flight state? What if all that innocent child was experiencing was pain and suffering at every point in his / her life’s journey?

It is inconceivable, that a child can go through an entire childhood in this way, and no one sees that the child is being abused and is feeling traumatized.

The signs are obvious but trauma continues to happen to children every day in our society because too many adults choose to ignore the signs of child abuse and go on in their normal happy lives by doing nothing.

Doing nothing is like agreeing with the abusers and it tells the suffering child that no one cares. Knowing that no one cares can destroy and shatter the most stubborn and strongest character into complete shutdown. That feeling of an overwhelming abandonment after being cast aside like a washed-out rag from all of mankind.

No one cares, not one single person in the world.

A desolate life.

This memoir is my story and I find myself lucky to be alive. I survived against all odds. Having been deeply unloved and unwanted right from the start has shaped my very essence into the person I am today.

Hurt and pain doesn’t even begin to explain what I’ve had to endure, what I have seen and done in my youngest most impressionable years.

I learnt very early on about feeling abandoned, hungry, dirty and cold but those feelings were nothing compared to the pain. The constant pain of living with rape and sexual torture.

I survived in an environment where most people would not. This is my memoir where I reveal my childhood. I include a bonus chapter at the end of the book with advice on how to spot child abuse / trauma in children.

I'm still hoping for the world to change because no child should be abused in any form - yet it happens. 

We all need to come together and stop adults hurting our future generations.

My name is Lizzy. I'm a trauma survivor, a wife, a mom, a teacher and an author.
