This is a memoir that was a tough read. The author was physically but probably mostly emotionally abused by her dad. It was not a constant thing though, at times he was loving & caring but blowups happened and really affected the author. She was also dependent on her parents obviously growing up but also through college & grad school and some beyond. Eventually though she cut off all contact with parents, a tough decision she made in order for her sanity & also because she started raising a family. I am not sure I could do that and I am not sure that she convinced me in the book that it was necessary but this was her decision to make. A tough read but one where try to put yourself in her shoes and then also into her parent's shoes--rough for everyone.
There are no copies in system so I will post this & see what happens.
