As a child, Pelzer was beaten, starved, and abused both emotionally and physically by his alcoholic and mentally unstable mother. As a man, Pelzer went on to have love, happiness, a fulfilling career, and his own family. To many, Pelzer seemed to have found his happy ending. But for a child abuse survivor, living a normal adult life carries challenges and complications above and beyond those faced by most people. This book, the fifth in Pelzer's nonfiction series, provides an honest and courageous look at the difficulties inherent in marriage, parenthood, work, and life from the perspective of someone who survived horrific physical and emotional terrors as a child--and who seeks to meet the responsibilities and complications of adult life with love, strength, and an open heart." -- Dust jacket. 606 $aMiddle-aged persons$xFamily relationships 606 $aAdult child abuse victims$xFamily relationships 615 0$aMiddle-aged persons$xFamily relationships. 615 0$aAdult child abuse victims$xFamily relationships. 676 $a155.66 700 $aPelzer$b David J.$01107343 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158847303321 996 $aToo close to me$92631229 997 $aUNINA
