Book Description
I grew up in a family system where there were a lot of abusive family members. The ones who were not abusive didnt seem to be able to remove themselves or the children from the harmful behavior in our lives. As a child I was extremely nervous and felt a lot of shame. I witnessed a lot of horrible things and was extremely abused myself. I saw how alcoholism enabled certain family members to either act very inappropriately when under the influence or become extremely violent. I saw how alcohol was used to medicate other family members. Some of my family members died rather young I feel due a very stressful life. I began to notice my siblings and my cousins participate in destructive relationships and/or abuse substances. My relationships with them were not healthy ones. I tried for years to find ways to improve my relationships with them but nothing ever worked no matter how hard I tried. This book is about my experiences with family and other unhealthy relationships in my life. How it all affected me from childhood and into adulthood. The steps I had to take to improve my life. I now believe I can have the love and respect I want from others in my life as long as I love and care for myself. I hope my story will help others who have had similar experiences. I have no desire to drink alcohol anymore or to associate with people who abuse it, are abusive, controlling and who cannot be accountable for their behavior. We all deserve to heal and have good relationships in our lives.

Histrionic Hamlet
Author: Piotr Sadowski
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040127428
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
According to psychological research on acting, the histrionic personality consists of a compulsive tendency to play-act, exaggerate emotions, succumb to illusions, seek attention through speech, body language and costume, to be seductive and impulsive. An original intervention in the critical history of Shakespeare’s most famous play, Histrionic Hamlet argues that the Danish Prince is a stage representation of just such a personality—a born actor and a drama queen rather than a politician—incongruously thrown in the middle of ruthless high-stakes power struggle requiring pragmatic rather than theatrical skills. Uniquely among other English revenge tragedies, in Hamlet a histrionic protagonist striking a series of gratuitous, baffling, self-indulgent, and counterproductive poses is called upon to carry out a challenging and brutal political task, which he spectacularly and tragically mismanages. Unable to perform on a theatrical stage as a professional actor, the Clown Prince bitterly play acts anyway, turning all situations into opportunities of pretend play rather than effective political action. In consequence he wastes tactical advantages over his enemies, endangers himself, and jeopardizes his revenge plan, if ever there was one. Histrionic Hamlet should be of interest to students of Shakespeare, theater practitioners, and anyone interested in human dysfunctional and maladaptive behavior.

Apocalypsis: Book 4 (Haven)

Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR, ELLE CASEY, brings readers Book 4, the final installment in the YA Dystopian APOCALYPSIS Series, suitable for older teens and adults. HAVEN. My name’s Bryn Mathis. I'm seventeen years old, and I'm alive at a critical time in our world's history, unlike all the adults and babies who didn't survive the virus that almost wiped out the human race. Alliances are building, enemies are gathering, and everything's about to reach the boiling point. I'm in a race against time to get Haven ready for the final showdown, a confrontation that could very possibly destroy everything my friends and I have worked so hard to create. People I trusted have betrayed me. People who I thought were my enemies are not. Nothing is as it seems, and nothing will ever be the same for me, now that I've embarked on this one last adventure that could be the undoing of everything that is me. Content Warning: Mild violence and some foul language. Meant for older Young Adult readers (age 15+). This book is in the Dark Science Fiction / Horror / Post-Apocalyptic genres, featuring teen characters only. APOCALYPSIS SERIES READING ORDER Apocalypsis: Book 1 (Kahayatle) **Special introductory ebook price** Apocalypsis: Book 2 (Warpaint) Apocalypsis: Book 3 (Exodus) Apocalypsis: Book 4 (Haven) HERE’S WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT APOCALYPSIS: BOOK 4 (HAVEN): “Best Book Of The Series! I am always sad to see Elle's series come to an end. Her chillaxed writing style brings an amazingly personal depth to her characters. Haven is no exception. This book will have you angry, then laughing, then crying, and when it’s over you’ll leave wanting more! I gave Haven the full 5 stars it deserves! Elle, you never disappoint! Thank You!!” ~ Chris, Goodreads reviewer “…I’ve already read this series more than once! And with having a ton of TBR books on my kindle (and believe me there are a lot). When I find myself rereading this series more than just one time I think it shows just how GREAT this series is!!”~ Elizabeth, Goodreads reviewer “The final installment to Apocalypsis took me from one extreme to the next. Elle Casey has done it again. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to scream, I held my breath, and I read non-stop from start to finish!" ~ Mandy Jamerson, Goodreads reviewer “Don’t pass this series by! Elle Casey's books are stellar! This series has elements of fear, humour, survival, and romance. The characters are wonderfully developed and you race through each book needing to know what happens. It also is very thought provoking - this terror could happen now…” ~ Penny Streby, Amazon reviewer This series is dedicated to the amazing, wonderful Native Americans who populate our nation, continuing their traditions and reminding the rest of us that sometimes, progress isn’t always the best thing for our people.
