Breaking the Silence

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“As a result of reviewing this book, I came to realize the impact of the verbal abuse I received from my mom who told me over and over again that I was an unwanted child from the day I was born. After eighty-four years, I now realize that many of my problems throughout the course of my life can be traced to the verbal abuses I have gotten from my family members. Our churches need to be more aware of abuse and do something about it so the children of the abused will not become abusers themselves or allow others to abuse them as our children have experienced.”
