When the rain stops

This is not a book about a movie-star, a famous athlete, a celebrity, or a hero. i'm just a guy living day to day who survived childhood traumas that cut deep and left permanent scars.this book is about how i dealt with my pain and what lead to my decision to have a healthy and wonderful life. i have tried my best to be truthful and honest.i want to reach everyone who suffers or knows some-one who suffers from abandonment issues, depression, loneliness, and/or suicidal thoughts. i understand what you are going through and want you to know there is hope. i believe that only you can change. i did.if i save one life then i will consider this book a best seller. be strong and know others have risen from the darkest depths to live a happy, loving, and successful life. above all, never give up on yourself.i have changed many of the names to protect the in-nocent and some of the not-so-innocent. the greatest gift is to enjoy your life fully. this, then, is my story.
