Susan Norman's disturbing childhood and violent marriage left her with learning and writing difficulties that she has spent her life overcoming. Using guile, good humour and a fair dollop of native intelligence, she endured extreme domestic violence and misfortune, yet always managed to spring off the back foot and bounce back.Hardworking and forthright, Susan has negotiated successful careers as a prison officer, hostage negotiator and businesswoman. Her trademark of an infectious sense of humour, loyalty, compassion and kindness to others is a tribute to her authentic self.Her narrative tracks her life from early childhood in the downtrodden streets of the East End of London, her marriage to a violent pimp and her struggles to bring up her children in appalling living conditions. Despite being unable to write, Susan became a prison officer in the notorious and dangerous corridors of Boggo Road Prison. Eventually, after many years of outstanding service, work stress overcame her, forcing her to leave.Embarking on a successful business venture with her husband, and trusting that her daughter, Ivy, would never hurt her, Susan encouraged her daughter's involvement in the day-to-day running of the company. Manipulated and blackmailed by Ivy into losing control of the company she worked hard to establish, Susan was locked out of her company office and left in despair and penniless.Written with the help of a ghostwriter, this is a story of tenacity and strength in adversity and - despite suffering the worst form of betrayal, from close family - the fortitude to rise above it, laugh and bounce back.

Infanticide is the crime of killing an infant. It is one of the commonest, yet least understood of all human crimes. Estimates of its frequency, based upon historical studies and modern data, indicate that up to 10-15% of all children ever born have been killed by their parents: an astounding seven billion victims! Most people find it difficult to accept that anyone, except the most severely mentally disturbed felon, would kill their own child.The author provides the first exhaustive survey of infanticide, drawing on historical data from around the world. He then uses this survey as a basis for investigating why infanticide has been present in every form of human society throughout history.Although academic articles document isolated aspects of this problem, a single, unified analysis of infanticide has not been completed until now.Both comprehensive and compelling, this important study will intrigue students of human psychology, social welfare, and child abuse, and will promote further research on this alarmingly overlooked atrocity.Dr. Larry S. Milner, an expert in the field of infanticide, brings to light reasons why parents have so often resorted to murdering their offspring.A board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Hematology and Oncology as well as an attorney, Dr. Milner wrote this book to inform the public about the historical and current practice of infanticide in order to promote prevention.INCLUDES INDEX

Have you been deeply hurt by your father?Did the man who should have loved you, listened to you and protected you inflict traumas that still affect your life today?Are you struggling every day to repair the damage that he has caused?Being daughters raised by emotionally absent fathers is a difficult and lonely experience; you may have low self-esteem, suffer from anger and depression and feel that you have no value.There are several ways in which fathers can be emotionally distant from their daughters: through divorce, work/careers, military service, addictions, serious physical or mental illness or death.It is possible that these men are narcissists who have showered you with constant criticism and try to manipulate and control you. Or it may be that they were abusive to you or were simply old-fashioned fathers of few words and expressed what they wanted only with gestures.Adult daughters of emotionally absent fathers always recognise that something is wrong, but overlook the devastating long-term effects that impact themselves, their romantic relationships, their friendships and their work or careers.I recommend that you read this book if you recognise some of these attitudes in your father:- Only your physical needs exist for them, not your emotional ones.- They talk to you in a flat, uninterested tone of voice.- They make cruelly critical comments.- They do not listen to you or take an interest in your life.- They never compliment you or celebrate your achievements.- They never spend time alone with you.- They rarely convey their affection to you with hugs or smiles.- They are distracted when they are with you, by work, TV or their phone.- They are addicted to alcohol or other substances.- They spend money on unnecessary things before they meet your needs.- They are unable to manage their emotions and express their feelings.- They are defensive and unwilling to accept points of view other than their own.- They blame you for their faults or mistakes.- They do not take responsibility for their actions.- They deny reality when you try to talk about their attitudes, making you feel crazy.These are just some of the most common signs. In any family, the situation can be complex and varied. The devastating effects of an emotionally absent father are not often talked about. The world needs to talk about these types of fathers!You, on the other hand, may be experiencing the following:- Anger and disappointment at not receiving the affection and support you wanted and should have received.- Feeling unloved, inadequate and worthless.- Loneliness, without the support of a network of loving family members.- a misunderstanding of what has happened to you and what you feel.In romantic relationships, women who grew up with absent fathers will try to reproduce the patterns they suffered in their past and will have difficulty forming lasting relationships by going for partners who do not value and respect them.Is it possible to heal the invisible childhood wounds plagued by an emotionally absent father?Fortunately, this manual contains methods to identify and interrupt dysfunctional patterns and cultivate new ones that are useful and tailored to you. It is important to do this for yourself, for your loved ones and, ultimately, for your children.This book is written for you. It will help you!

The abuse of men by their female partners is a serious social problem, largely unacknowledged by society. It has the effect of exacerbating a sense of disempowerment which many men experience today. This study explores the nature and extent of abuseagainst men, how they are affected by it, and the social structures which enable the abuse to occur. My hypotheses were that the pain men experience as victims of female abuse is of such a magnitude that they are often unable to bear it, and also that there is a widespreadprejudice against men which works against a just resolution in situations of heterosexual conflict.The origins of the bias against men lie in certain philosophies within feminism, which label a wide variety of historical and cultural developments with the single term 'patriarchy'. This simplistic reduction enables the proponents of these philosophies to condemn men as a whole for the problems of civilization.

When the people who were looked upon with the eyes of Jesus realized that those eyes recognized in them their lost and buried sonship, they were suddenly changed. It is His gift of grace that gives us new eyes, and we can see something divine in others. But first, we must be able to see ourselves with new eyes. I developed lie-based beliefs about myself as a child, and those lies had a devastating effect on my life. To the extent that my beliefs were distorted or poorly formed, my discernment and choices were flawed or wrong. We must seek God's truth in place of our lie-based beliefs not only to see the pearl in the mire, but also to recognize the sonship of God in ourselves and in others.
