Finding Strength in My Autobiography: The Forgotten Son

The story of my life has been no easy feat, although I have had a my share of good and bad like most. Each of us has a story to tell, even if you think your story is not that interesting or even boring, but you would find that others can find inspiration and hope from your story alone.

That is one of the reasons I wrote “The Forgotten Son” My Autobiography. I wrote this for a few different reasons, one would be bring my adversity to light, to reflect on the people in my life who made me who I am today for better or worse.

I certainty was shaped by an abusive, vulgar , demoralizing grandfather whom I referred to as the “Devil” in my book for the harm he caused me for most of childhood and adulthood. Scars that affect me even today as I do struggle with mental health, feelings of worthlessness and frankly ending it all, but wanting to leave behind my life story for my family as a history in a way. Being a writer I wrote it for all those whom would want to read an 840 page book with images of myself , family, friends, co-workers and alike. It was a labor of love to put this together, and it did help in a form of self-therapy.

My book is out February 7th, which is a significant date for me, which is the day I attempted to take my life in 2007, but obliviously I did not succeed unless you believe I wrote my life story from the grave, which I didn’t but that sounds pretty neat if one could.

I don’t expect everyone to pick up my book as it is on the Pricer side and being that I am no Stephen King, most wont feel my book is important enough to pick up. But if you do THANK YOU!

Thank you for all of those who don’t or haven’t read my book but still support me, that is what keeps me going each day believe it or not and as long as I am still here will be a voice here.
