Publisher's Synopsis
I felt frustrated and helpless as I watched my family struggles, particularly when we have experienced a lot of traumas from the time we were born. I realized that my usual calming techniques are still not successful in these taxing times. My feelings of frustration, stress, and anxiety have been influenced by my desire to create a positive and supportive environment for my family and those who may have experienced childhood traumas like us. Bad things happened in my life before I became what I am today. I'm still recovering from the bad experiences, however, I am still contemplating on what might have been, if this war had not happened. The war that left my family in disarray and misery. Yet I managed to play with my friends. As if I did not have troubling issues. Now I'm an adult and I have a home for myself. It's been hard, but I'm living a life lye chosen. As a father, I now understand the importance of a father and mother in a child's life.
