Things I Wish My Father Had Told Me, a Book by Leonard Adams that Transforms Prisons of Adversity Into Paths of Healing, Is Now Available on Amazon
This book describes some of the realizations that transformed him from being damaged with chronic PTSD due to years of extreme child abuse to contentment, happiness, peace, and the ability to trust and love again.
MADISON, Ala., Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- It was love, need, and gratitude that motivated him to write this book. Love of freedom from the past. The need to help others gain that freedom. Gratitude for everything he learned that helped him overcome incredible childhood adversity.
Because of extreme childhood abuse, he lived in a mire of pain, distrust, hatred, fear, self-loathing, bitterness, and severe callousness toward others, all while hiding behind walls of intelligence, facts, the need to always be right (even when he was wrong), sarcasm, conversation diversion, pride, hurt-them-before-they-hurt-you, and attempting to be an island unto himself.
Through the incredible benefits offered by being trained as a U.S. Army counselor to offer individual, marital, family, hospice, and substance abuse counseling, along with anger management classes, as well as working in mental health prison and on Death Row as a post-Army civilian, he was able to change his life. He worked the principles he learned on himself as he was offering them to thousands of others.
His father died when he was in his early 20s, but he was uncommunicative and unavailable even when he was alive. There are so many things Leonard wishes his father could have taught him; things that would've helped him make wiser decisions. Now nearing 60 years old, he imagines there are others like him, who wish they had someone to help in areas of decision for their lives.
This book shares some of the rich lessons he learned, some of the wisdom he has gleaned, which he passes on in hopes that they will help you as much as they have helped him.
