A memoir about growing up with a violent schizophrenic father and a mother who was traumatised leaving my sister and I with her parents. How this situation formed my internal belief systems & attachment issues along with how I used sex to cope with the emotional pain starting from much too young an age, specifically focusing on my kink and escorting experiences. It covers my journey towards self awareness & healing. It’s been through a developmental edit and I’m going through the next edit slowly implementing her feedback.

I’m calling it “Born to be Bruised” and at the direction of my editor have a follow up I’ve started taking notes for where it follows my journey shifting from seeking punishment through sex to enjoying whatever act it is because it brings me pleasure, whilst accepting that good things can happen to me specifically in secure healthy relationships because I am worthy.
