Overcoming an Abusive Childhood is a true story that tells what life was like with an abusive/alcoholic father. Not only was I abused at home at home, I also was bullied at school. Growing up in t5he 60's and 70's times were different, but feelings and emotions were the same as they are today. I tell what I went through and how I was able to get through it and not follow in my fathers footsteps with my own children I was able to have a very rough childhood, yet I learned what kind of life I didn't want and made something of myself.
