This memoir tells the story of growing up in a home shaped by neglect, abuse, and survival. From early illness and isolation to being forced into adulthood far too soon, this book traces the experience of a childhood where safety was never guaranteed and love was conditional. Walking home alone, caring for siblings, enduring physical and emotional harm, and learning to stay silent became part of daily life. Even after escaping that environment, the impact remained. Loss followed, grief accumulated, and healing proved to be anything but simple. This is not a story of easy recovery, but of endurance-of learning how trauma lives in the body, how silence can be as damaging as violence, and how survival can become both a strength and a burden. Told with honesty and restraint, this memoir is about what it means to survive when you had no choice, and how learning to live afterward can be just as difficult as staying alive.

So all this time... it was all a lie? She turned and ran to her room, locking the door behind her before sliding down onto the cold floor. Tears fell freely as the question she had been afraid to ask finally surfaced. If I'm not really your daughter... then what am I to you? @EJD_writes25
