Months after I was born, my father walked out on our family. At eight, I was sexually molested by my step-father. After two years of abuse, I told my mother but instead of believing me, she defended him and remained with him until his death. These three experiences frame my childhood of perfect hell--one that lined a path of fear, shame, and eventual route to courage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"You are ruining this family\"\u003cbr\u003e \"Jesus has forgiven him. And so have I.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis story spans forty years of trying to make sense of my abusive past, of trying to find a sense of normalcy, and of trying to navigate relationships, marriage, and parenting. Now, I tackle it all with a grin. Hell, they don't call me \"one blunt woman\" for nothing. Secrets should absolutely have a shelf life; otherwise, you may find yourself at the bottom of yet another bottle--or worse. This is a candid and brutally honest memoir written for all of us who have suffered abuse and for all of us ready to shout--loudly and bluntly--about pedophilia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wanda Means\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wanda Means\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999827208","brand":"Wanda Means","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40597301756019,"sku":"9.781E+12","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_e071dea2-1436-4b5a-b1ca-2809ecfcf3b2.jpg?v=1669128153","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-shelf-life-of-a-secret-9780999827208","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
