The Secret Back Door - Juli Flintoff - Bog

In this gripping autobiography, I share my experience of holding on when everyone else let go. With every ounce of strength, I gripped tight, silently screaming on the inside, unable to surrender or relinquish my right to live my own life. Despite the choices of those around me, I had none of my own.
My sanity teetered on the edge between a frenzied, rabid dog and an existence of task-oriented groundhog days. I didn't recognize myself, yet the merry-go-round kept turning, and I couldn't step off. I had already witnessed more than my eyes should have seen, but leaving wasn't an option.
The reason why? She devoted her life to protecting me from bullies, silently absorbing their scorn. Now the tables have turned, and it's my turn to protect her. No matter the cost, I vowed to love her, keep her safe, and give her my undivided attention and lifelong support. We're in this together, no matter how long it takes.
