I AM THE RAM is a memoir about what we inherit without consent-and the moment that inheritance stops protecting us and starts destroying us.
Raised observant, quiet, and inward, the author learns early to survive by watching, enduring, and controlling. Over time, those instincts harden into force: the ram. A way of charging through life that builds success, authority, and respect-while quietly eroding intimacy, honesty, and peace.
From childhood moments that defy explanation to marriages that looked stable from the outside and fractured underneath, this memoir traces how trauma passes through generations disguised as discipline, love, and strength.
At fifty, facing the wreckage of choices once justified as necessary, the author asks the question most people avoid: Was the ram ever protection-or just a mask?
This is not redemption.
It's reckoning
