Cruel Turn of Fate Shirley a Connolly

I endured physical, mental and verbal abuse throughout my life in every way possible . Born into a family of farmers, who felt I was worthless. The hatred of me was borne out in cruel actions, and many horror filed adversities. Unconditional love and understanding was never shown to me. I was always treated like a total out cast regardless of what good I did. I just wanted someone to love me. I acknowledged eventually I needed to learn how to love myself first. Others were amazed I had enough strength, wisdom and the power to prevent me from becoming an alcoholic, drug addict or even worse dead. I was told by Professional Doctor`s it`s a miracle I am alive to tell my story. Through years of hard work and dedication I have become an award-winning author, educated in Psychology, Criminal-Sociology, Law, speaker, coach/mentor assisting many who may be grieving or experiencing different levels of partnership, family, stranger or a predator`s abuse.
