Life as a moonshiners son : adversity, danger, occasional humor / by Smith, James A.;
The author's father was a major bootlegger in Southeastern North Carolina. He was known far and wide for his ability to make the best moonshine in the area. This bootlegger frequently imposed cruel and even inhumane treatment on his son, especially those involving illegal liquor. James often sustained unusual cruelty and savage beatings for not getting an assigned task perfectly correct. He learned early on to keep his distance from his father and his violent temper, especially when his father was drinking. In those days, there was no intervention by Social Services or law enforcement to prevent the cruelty. Life as a Bootlegger's Son reveals murder and adultery that existed in the family. It also addresses personal survival when confronted with abject poverty and the challenges of growing up largely without parental supervision. The book also has humorous moments that the reader is sure to enjoy. Be sure to read the squirrel story!

Adult survivors of emotionally abusive parents : how to heal, cultivate emotional resilience & build the life & love you deserve / by Campbell, Sherrie,author.;
Introduction: Moments of truth -- The critical importance of parents -- The search for any feeling of home -- Love cannot be forced -- Transforming maladaptive guilt -- Untwisting their demands for respect -- Overcome your self-neglect -- What love based in respect feels like -- Respecting yourself -- Your role in the family system -- Survive the smear campaign -- When the scapegoat fights back -- Start choosing you -- Recovering a source of power -- Healing is a verb -- Your happiness possibility -- Make love your default emotion."Few things in the world have a more profound effect on your life than the parents who raised you. When your parents are pathologically self-centered, manipulative, or emotionally abusive, the pain they cause is deep and often difficult to put into words. You may experience anxiety, depression, complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD), low self-esteem, addiction, or other mental health conditions as an adult. And you may even feel like it was somehow all your fault. But it was not your fault, and there are tools you can use to heal the trauma caused by your childhood. From the author of the self-help hit Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members, this compassionate guide will help you gain a greater understanding of what happened in your past; transform deep pain into emotional resilience; and build the loving, meaningful relationship with yourself that you deserve. You'll also learn to set boundaries with others, assert your needs, and overcome emotional avoidance to develop warm, loving relationships with others. Author Sherrie Campbell offers powerful skills drawn from a range of evidence-based treatments, including mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), self-compassion, lived experience, and body-based practices to help you heal from the past and reconnect with your authentic self. A happy and healthy life is not a life without struggle--it is a journey full of meaningful lessons. Let this book guide you on the path to healing, wholeness, and self-discovery"--Includes bibliographical references (page 179).
