Three Times A Victim: Living Under the Shadow of Toxic Shame by BruceWhealton
27 parts Ongoing Mature
In Three Times a Victim: Living Under the Shadow of Toxic Shame, the author shares a deeply personal and harrowing journey through layers of injustice-first as a victim of a traumatic assault, then as the accused in a cruel reversal of truth, and finally as a casualty of a justice system riddled with gender bias and systemic failure. With raw honesty and emotional depth, this memoir delves into the profound psychological impact of being disbelieved, shamed, and ultimately betrayed by those entrusted to uphold justice. It explores how pre-existing wounds of childhood abuse, emotional deprivation, and toxic shame collided with the crushing weight of false accusations-leaving scars that persist in personal and professional life. Through vivid storytelling, the author examines the societal biases that too often dismiss male victims, the emotional toll of battling for truth in a world unwilling to listen, and the ongoing struggle to reclaim dignity and identity in the face of relentless self-doubt and despair. Despite the darkness, Three Times a Victim is also a testament to resilience, offering an unflinching look at survival, self-acceptance, and the pursuit of healing. This memoir is a must-read for anyone who has ever faced injustice, battled with feelings of shame and isolation, or sought to understand the devastating consequences of a system that too often punishes the innocent. It is a powerful call to challenge societal perceptions, advocate for fairness, and shine a light on the silent struggles that persist long after the case is closed.

Sydney didn't have much, but that was fine with her. She didn't need much. Growing up on the Washington coast in a lonely beach town, working quietly behind the scenes was what she was good at. Living on the beach was much less glamorous than most people imagine. Her home was a beat up old Winnebago that she had shared with her father until he passed. Her father had been a detached parent. He loved his daughter of course, but he was by no means an affectionate man. She had grown up fending for herself, working backstage at a bar that hosted live bands using a fake ID. After the death of her father she saw an ad for a guitar technician for a local Seattle band. A love of rock and roll had been the one thing that her and her dad had in common. Selling everything that she didn't need she packed up her pickup truck and travelled north to the city, leaving the sleepy town in her rear view mirror. She didn't expect to embark on what would become the adventure of a lifetime. For someone who had hardly left the town she grew up in, the opportunity to get paid to travel the country and listen to great music was a dream come true. The band became her family, and life on the road was a perfect fit for her. Chris Cornell instantly became Sydney's best friend in the whole world. They were in love, that was plain as day to anyone who paid attention. Yet, sometimes love isn't as simple as it should be. Sometimes, love hurts. Warning: This book covers potentially triggering subjects such as depression, suicidal ideation, domestic abuse, sexual assault, poverty and drug use. These are issues that many of us have faced and are very real. If you or a loved one is experiencing suicidal thoughts or abuse in a relationship, please reach out and find help.
