about this book: Over 40 years ago, I never dreamed I would tell anyone about being a child abuser, much less write my story. I was overwhelmed by life, being a wife, and being a mother. I acted out in rage to the point that I often hit my toddler daughter, constantly yelled at her, calling her names, and even choked her. My husband who was a cop was completely oblivious to what was going on because he was working two jobs, had a flying hobby and was never home. And that is why I blamed him for my anger. I honestly thought I could not become a patient mom and loving wife unless he changed and met all my needs. The fact that I called myself a Christian made it even worse. My prayers for help seemed to be unheard and I concluded God didn't love me and had forsaken me. All hope was gone and I almost used my husband's off duty service revolver to end my life. But in the midst of such despair God began to work. My story tells how He not only empowered me to become the patient mom I wanted to be but also healed our marriage. My story will give you hope to know that regardless of your problem or challenge, God always wants to help. YOu'll also learn practical ideas for dealing with a disobedient child, coping with time pressures, and restoring the joy in your marriage.
There is a section of group discussion questions for each chapter and also a note from my husband explaining his perspective which can help a wife understand her husband.
