Book Description
Looking back, I cannot believe I allowed myself to be taken in, manipulated and mentally abused for 5 years by a man who never once told me he loved me. How could an intelligent, well educated, mature woman with so much going for herself become a victim of a Sexual Predator? Even now, I can't answer that question. Those in the field of medicine, those who study the mind, may be able to help me answer that question. For now, I just pray that it doesn't happen to you. Don't let a handsome face and a few compliments cause you to lose everything in your life that is important. I had everything I needed and I almost lost it all. There are so many lonely women out here. There are predators around every corner waiting for the opportunity to give you a compliment, get into your head, steal your heart, rape your body and rob you blind. It happened to me and it could happen to you. How many times have we heard and read stories of women in abusive relationships continuing to stay with the abuser or leaving and going back time and time again. I would often ask myself how in the world could a woman go through that kind of abuse and not walk away. Now that I have been in their shoes, I will never judge them again. Something happens to you when you love someone. Something breaks down in you and you can't see your way out. Your self esteem becomes so damaged you become crippled. The most important thing we can ever do for ourselves in this life is to love God and to love ourselves first and foremost. If we do not know how to love ourselves, we will never know how to truly love someone else.

From Victim to Offender
Author: Freda Briggs
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000257207
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Tom was the only adult who gave me the attention and affection that I so badly needed. I loved his caresses and the times he comforted me. I loved talking to him because he was the only adult who listened and understood. - Neil's Story From Victim to Offender shows how victims of child sexual abuse become juvenile and adult offenders. The stories told by these offenders reveal the vulnerability of boys to paedophiles and pederasts who provide the male attention lacking in some children's home lives. They show how early sexualisation damages children's sexual development, their relationships and their adult lives. The story of a female offender reveals that this problem is not confined to boys. These stories highlight the inadequacy of current child protection programs for the protection of boys. The editor's introduction and the chapter from a psychologist who specialises in the treatment of offenders emphasise the need to improve child protection and treatment programs for offenders. From Victim to Offender offers unique insights into the experiences of victims and offenders of sexual abuse, and is essential reading for professionals who are concerned about child protection and those responsible for the rehabilitation of offenders.

Perfect Victims
Author: Bill James
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0857203924
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 672
Book Description
The Black Dahlia case. The Manson murders. The Zodiac Killer. The slaughter of JonBenet Ramsay. These killings, among many others in Bill James's astonishing chronicle of the history of American crime, have all created a frenzy of interest and speculation about human nature. And while many of us choose to avoid the news about gruesome murders, Bill James contends that these crime stories, which create such frenzy (and have throughout history), are as important to understanding our society, culture and history as anything we may consider to be a more 'serious' subject. The topic envelopes our society so completely, we almost forget about it. James looks at the ways in which society has changed by examining the development of how crimes have been committed, investigated and prosecuted. The booktakes on such issues as the rise of an organized police force, the controversial use of the death penalty, the introduction of evidence such as fingerprinting and DNA, and the unexpected ways in which the most shocking crimes have shaped the criminal justice system and our perceptions of violence.

No Matter Our Wreckage
Author: Gemma Carey
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
ISBN: 1761060139
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
A ground-breaking, uncompromising and unflinching memoir about grooming, intergenerational trauma, grief and love. My mother knew I was abused as a child. She had read letters sent from my abuser to me...But she never spoke to me about them, or what they described. And she never intervened to stop the abuse...Now she is dying and the past is rising to the surface like a bruise. When Gemma Carey was twelve years old, a man twice her age would sneak into her bedroom on a weekly basis and sexually assault her. When Gemma was seventeen, she took the perpetrator to court without anyone else knowing and had him placed on the child sex offenders register. When she was thirty-three, her mother died of cancer. For twenty years, her mother had known about this man. But why had she not acted to protect her daughter? Could the genesis of this betrayal be found in her own family history? No Matter Our Wreckage is the story of past and present colliding. It seeks to capture the complexity of forces which lead to abuse; to understand the intertwined narratives of mothers and daughters and how trauma becomes encoded in our DNA through generations. It explores grooming and the intricacies of consent, and how as a society we have not yet figured out how to deal with these types of crimes or the people who commit them. No Matter Our Wreckage is a powerful, poetic and unflinching memoir about what it means not to matter, and how an extraordinary woman refused to listen to the stories she was being told about herself - by her history, by her abuser, by her mother, by society. It is only by speaking out that Gemma Carey learns she can break free from her past and reclaim her life, her self and her future. 'No Matter Our Wreckage is a brutal reminder of our responsibility to notice and protect those we love. A devastating and clear-eyed memoir with a poet's voice. Gemma Carey will boil your blood and break your heart.' - Anna Spargo-Ryan, author of The Gulf
