    The Cycle Ends With Me This is not a story about a perfect man learning lessons. This is a story about a man who became someone he never wanted to be-and the moment he finally stopped blaming everything else and took responsibility for it. Raised around instability, anger, and addiction, Sheldon Stodder grew up believing he would be different. But over time, the same patterns he swore he would never repeat began to show up in his own life-damaging his marriage, shaping his behavior, and ultimately leading to a moment that forced him to confront the truth about who he had become. This book walks through that reality without excuses. From the quiet buildup of resentment and distorted thinking, to the escalation of anger, to the consequences that followed-this is an honest look at how destructive patterns form, how they are justified, and how they hurt the people closest to us. But this is not where the story ends. Through accountability, sobriety, self-reflection, and deliberate change, Sheldon begins the work of breaking the cycle-learning how to regulate his emotions, rebuild trust, and become a different kind of man, husband, and father. Not perfect. Not finished. But committed. The Cycle Ends With Me is about recognizing the patterns you were given, taking responsibility for the ones you continued, and making the conscious decision to end them-no matter how difficult that work may be.

    ​"I am wide awake. But sometimes, I wish I could just go back to sleep." ​For fourteen-year-old Shalom Fuentes, home is a divided bedroom and a constant state of high alert.

Caught between her blossoming faith and her parents' lukewarm reality, Shalom has realized one thing: She isn't just a daughter; she's a witness to a cycle she refuses to repeat. ​Now, she has a plan.
