Legacy Loops a Memoir

<p class=ql-align-center></p><p>A Message to Readers:</p><p>As an adult I often felt like a kid was trapped inside me. Especially when things weren't going well. I felt isolated alone and out of place around others. For much of my life I said Yes when I <em>really </em>wanted to say No. </p><p><em>Why did I say yes? How can I get out of it? </em></p><p>At some point I noticed myself having extreme reactions disproportionate to what was actually occurring in real time. There were also the thoughts and emotions that didn't feel like my own. Sometimes I felt completely imprisoned...like I had no other option. The thought of talking to others about these things resulted in intense internal fear...a fear that they would think I was crazy...and either mock shame or abandon me. Part of me felt phony...like I <em>had to</em> please others in order to fit in and be accepted. It was as if my only value was <em>always </em>doing things for everybody else. </p><p>Faking it and suffering in silence was how I behaved. I had to. To survive my childhood.   I dutifully carried that insane behavior into adulthood. </p><p>I am an adult child of alcoholic parents and dysfunction. But wait there's more...my one and only sibling tortured and abused me <em>and </em>I experienced overlapping molestation and trauma. Talk about an overachiever!</p><p>Legacy Loops: Healing Me Healing You is third in a series of memoirs detailing my healing journey. This bold inspiring and insightful work candidly and courageously explores my innermost thoughts.  <em>And</em> more importantly the recovery I enjoy today.   </p><p>To anyone who may be suffering in silence It's safe to come out of hiding you're not alone. </p><p>Sherri A.
