The Outlier - An Open, Honest, Portrayal Of Family Betrayal, Guilt and Neglect Have You Ever Felt Totally Alone and Unloved?Everyone's family is unique but we expect our family unit to be one of support, of love, kindness and protection. We turn to our mothers for nurturing and for guidance but what happens when love is not given freely? Some children do not receive even the basics in life and they are left to struggle - bullied, neglected, abused and even ostracised in society. What happens to those children who are tainted by neglect, living in a house where only superficial qualities are valued and their emotional needs are ignored? What happens when children grow up totally starved of moral guidance and compassion?This is a true story bravely written by author Morgan Harrison who has experienced years of depression, anxieties and uncertainty through growing up in a family unit where love was withdrawn. There was no money for clothes - not even underwear and at the tender age of 9, she was told she had to find money to buy her own clothes. Along with her two siblings, they were not encouraged to mix with others and often kept home from school. Intelligent but afraid, Morgan lived on the peripheral of her parent's attention, an outsider looking in. Life was both volatile and bleak. When I think about my past, I have a cold, knot of anger in the pit of my stomach. Inside that knot, is a ball of pain. Everyone wants to feel loved but I didn’t. ˃˃˃ This Isn't Revenge - It's TherapyMorgan openly admits that she felt betrayed by her parents but that in a desperate bid to free herself from the past, she decided that her story had to be told. Crippled by self-doubts and the inner angst that tortured her each day, Morgan recognised that she wouldn't be free until she had come to terms with her lost childhood. Fixated on the shallow aspects of life, her mother gave her no moral compass to guide her through the complexities of life and seemed to be oblivious to the damage eroding into Morgan's daily beliefs. All I can think about is scrubbing away the ugly monster that I see when I look in the mirror. Some days I can't bear how I look. Step into a world of doubt, loneliness and betrayal and discover what happens to children who are lost in society. The Outlier - A True Story of One Woman's Struggle to Find Peace, Happiness and to Recapture A Lost Childhood.Grab a copy today.
