Blemished but Not Broken by Kay Kinsley Adams (English) Paperback Book

Description: Blemished but Not Broken by Kay Kinsley Adams Growing up with a parent who suffers from a mental illness can be both challenging and confusing, and this is my story of experiencing the various adventures of living a daily life with a mother whose mental health provided a consistent source of both humor and heartache. Along the way, youll also understand how my being the victim of a traumatic childhood event affected me, leading to a life that has been filled with trials and tribulations as well as a lifelong struggle to overcome the dynamics of a dysfunctional family. From page to page, youll see into relationships of all types and how they relate to a blemished past. For me, guidance along the way was slim as I worked to surmount the difficulties I encountered in life, but my story is one of gaining the courage and the strength to find my voice, even as I learned to speak out against present and future injustices. Lifes lessons are harsh, and the road map is not clearly outlined. Yet youll see how I found my way forward, and youll ideally find some guidance and understanding related to your own world as you read of how I fought against the darkness which sought to envelop me and how I struggled to overcome the challenge of being the daughter of someone with a mental illness. Travel with me on my journey through life as it is filled with tears and laughter. I am Kay, and this is my story. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Excerpt from Book I am Kay. For most of my life I have locked up who I really am inside of myself. Many times, I have been afraid to let myself go fearing what other people may think. I can no longer hide from the world the person that I rally am nor do I want to. I want my voice to be heard. For most of my life I have walked along a narrow abyss that was filled with self-doubt and depression. I have worked hard to keep myself from falling permanently into that abyss. I have had a taste of the water that flows there and I do not wish to dive in. Keeping the light in and darkness out is a work in progress but worth the effort. Being Kay has not been easy as I have lived a life of interesting twists and turns along the road that I have traveled. The instruction book for my life was not clear and difficult to figure out at times. Regardless, I decided a long time ago that I was going to be a person cared about other people and I was going to be kind to others-regardless of how others treated me. I have given this a lot of thought throughout my life as one often ponders such things. In thinking about that choice I have come to the conclusion that caring is exactly this, a choice. I dont think that you were born with a predisposition to care or not to care, as it is a decision that you have to make. In making the choice to be a person tha cares, I have found the easier route at times would have been to just walk away. Walking away is not always easy and a new set of problems will always find you if you try. Learning to have discretion about who to care about and who not became my solution...
