Painful Childhood Reply to this Comment Book Title: A Childhood Taken Away by a Mother and Grandfather Author: Linda Sommer Farley ISBN: 1413775195 Publisher: Publish America Book Description One of the most beautiful aspects of life is the relationship and love between a mother and child. To go through life without a mother's love can be very cruel and difficult. It can easily destroy you or as in my case make you stronger. With determination you can have a wonderful life after experiencing a tough childhood. After fifty-three years of dealing with someone who was incapable of showing me any respect or love, I can say that I have finally broken free from my mother's bondage. After all of these years I can finally be the person who I want to be. It is as if I have just now begun to live. I will continue to write about my experiences as a child; hopefully, what I have been through will help others. I now know that a new beginning is possible no matter what life throws your way. Farley was born in Springfield, Illinois. She grew up in a large family where money was scarce. Her mother was not around for a great deal of her childhood. She was the sixth child of eight and had the responsibility of raising her younger siblings when no one was at home. An abusive grandfather and mother were traumatic parts of her life. This book contains some of Farley's life stories. She describes the difficulties and accomplishments she has experienced in these painful and some times humorous stories. She wrote this book with the purest of intentions - to help others.

Drugged out mother Reply to this Comment My mom has been hooked on drugs since she was a teen. She's been in prison for them off and on over years. She always says she wants help but never gets enough to help her. She has 3 kids, I'm the oldest at 21 but my 2 younger sisters still need a mother that can take care of them. I would like her to get off drugs too. This mrning she called me saying I should get on a computer and find a mental health and drug treatment program in one. I don't know if it exists. Especially in my city. It may in Kansas City, Mo. Which is about 60 miles south of me. If any one can give me a little direction, just a path to take her to, then maybe she can stop with the life of drugs and have a life where she would work, take care of her 2 young daughters and be happy.
