This story of a dysfunctional family is written poignantly, thoughtfully and deeply from, the soul.

I read it in one sitting -- mesmerized by the revelations and the ultimate conclusion. This is a must read for those struggling with a history of abuse and/or addiction.. Real and True Beautifully written dark struggle of a life seeking Light. Humor in the right places like a dark version of Erma Bombeck writing about alcoholic dysfunction.

Although this story relates one family's generational brokenness in the extreme, remember that we are all damaged to some degree. If I can leave the dark house, anyone can if they work at it. My book can show you how. If you're in your own dark house and think that the odds are against you, keep in mind that the odds only matter if you're playing the odds.. The odds of someone who grew up like that winding up as regular person, let alone becoming successful are extremely slim. The brokenness had been ongoing for generations, each one successively crushing their children with abuse, domestic violence and the subsequent trauma. This is the story of a broken family made up of shattered people. Sometimes heartbreaking, but also darkly humorous, this tale shows that with grit and determination, your past is not necessarily an indicator of your future. I am no longer that damaged person that grew out of generations of family violence, rage and alcoholism. Leaving the Dark House describes the survival of an abusive childhood with alcoholic, mentally ill parents only to discover that an even worse nightmare lie ahead - growing up to become just like them
