I knew God disapproved of killing my father, an elder in our congregation. And I didn't want to go to prison at 15 years old. But I was also sure God would allow me to defend my life. My raw survival instinct took over when my father picked up a pipe to beat me. My actions that day altered the course of my entire life.
Thirty years later, after getting arrested for domestic violence, sitting in jail stirred a sickening guilt for all the harm I inflicted on others. My wife left. The congregation elders expelled me. From these humiliations, a renewed determination to change was born. The questions burning in my mind were, "How does a person born bad like me change? Is that even possible?"
I'm grateful to my daughter for teaching me about childhood trauma, to God for giving me faith, and to little-known but effective treatments. These transformed my life into one of love, forgiveness, and courage.
The Author, Tiger Darling
"This memoir is the true story of my life. I give you the intimate, raw experience of the bewildering self-sabotage as an adult after being abused as a child. While healing, I also suffered painful setbacks until I got free from the past. You may get depressed in the beginning but I hope that will cause you to rejoice in the healing even more."
