Call Yourself A Father?

A brave and courageous portrayal of how one family suffered but ultimately, survived the abusive behaviours of a psychopathic father. Starting with a definition of a psychopath, the author then relates the details of how his father unleashed a constant barrage of confusing, frustrating, painful abusive treatment on the family. The author, his mother and siblings endured this suffering on a daily basis, over many years. The way that the author's mother fought to deal with this ongoing, cruel and spiteful behaviour while protecting herself and her children is a central theme of the book. This is a deeply troubling story of abuse but ultimately, the way the author, his siblings and his mother coped and survived the torments of their father, moving on to live normal and fruitful lives is an inspiration for anyone who has experienced abuse in the past or in their current circumstances. Call Yourself a Father can provide a beacon of light for the sufferers of abuse and hopefully, a way forward to deal with the destructive effects of psychopathic behaviour.
