Tantrums. Biting. Hitting. Screaming. My son was gifted at all those things. But he didn't stop there. At 5, he assaulted another child at a daycare center, using a pencil as his weapon of choice. I was mortified, scared, and none of the doctors we saw had a clue. At 6 he punched his 1st grade teacher (in the back, no less), and finally got kicked out of school. I was furious, shaking, when I walked into the principal's office, and that's when I saw him. For the first time. My real son. Not the monstrous child I hated and who terrified me. The one who was trapped in that monster's body. My son, the real one, looked up at me, scared, lips trembling. So vulnerable. In that moment, I knew: I had to find out what was wrong with my son and stop the rage consuming him.

By the age of four I had attempted to divest myself of a sibling, by the age of seven I was attempting to kill myself and had bigger plans of murder on my mind. I have written this true story of my tormented childhood as a boy raised in a twisted radical Christian household in a secular society. I was constantly being physically beaten by my parents as well as constantly being called a variety of offensive names by my mother; while both my parents also dealt in mental warfare. My mother expressed throughout my childhood that she had "No use for" me, and if begging for mercy I would only hear "Look, I told you that I was going to make your life a living hell for you, and you didn't want to believe me". I was denied access to a physician, even with a broken arm, and was isolated from others aside from family members. I had no toys, Teddy bears or stuffies, and there were no kisses, no hugs, and no other affectionate physical contact in our house. An illegally adopted sister who I was fond of was given back to her parents after forming a sibling bond. I was told the night before at the age of seven by my father that I wasn't to cry as that would make things more difficult for her. At the age of ten I was sexually molested by a person rooming at our house. At the age of twelve my pet rabbit was the surprise supper meal.Throughout this all I was always threatening to "shoot off my little blabber mouth" which would always result in my being threatened as to what would happen to me if I did so as well as the constant chants that no one would believe me.I went off the deep end I my teens as I tried to make sense of things and eventually found and or figured out the answers decades later. All this and much more happened in a good clean radical Christian household where appearances were everything.

5-stars review rating from Readers' Favorite!If you want to find out what loneliness is, go off by yourself; not to pout in that nearby corner, but into a transoceanic expatriation. To Rome, then!Once there, you immerse yourself in culture and the past, you savor loneliness at leisure.Settling in, getting a job, you pursue vocation. That vocation is writing. As for loneliness, it has nothing to do with writing.

Where can one find happiness and fulfillment?There is always suicide to consider and insomnia to suffer.But the morning of a new day arrives. Our rescue and redemption from loneliness can be found in attunement to Nature, the experience of love, and the transcendent joy of music.Loneliness is Volume One of ROMAN RUMINATIONS, "The Psychology of the Human as Enculturated Animal".
