Synopsis

The nightly terror is real. And so are the words... Shhhh ... this is our little secret ... don t tell anyone. On the outside, Lori Golden had a perfect childhood. A perfect family. A perfect upbringing. What Lori really had was a perfect house of lies. To the outside ... and within the confines of the walls. The sexual abuse that started at the age of five for Lori Golden became a wall of silent screams. Screams that were hidden from herself and from the world for decades. Until she could do and did the tell. When sexual abuse occurs, you are alone with your abuser, creating a unique kind of aloneness. One that is dark and sinister. You feel hopeless in the belief that you could get better, or the pain could end. Your aloneness becomes so profound that it makes you want to self-destruct, even feel suicidal. You should embrace your story and let your inner abused child speak out. Learn how to love your child within and dedicate yourself to achieving your own personal freedom from its bondage. You lived through the worst of it as a child and survived. You can live freely once again. Lori Golden learned that life is possible after a decade of sexual abuse. Her story ... her recovery ... and now her work as a therapist and speaker have opened doors for thousands.

My mother

As an Incest survivor I was guarded around my mother. Everyone "loved" her. She was head counselor at a large day camp where people of all ages sought her out for counsel. I would watch her interact with people and wonder why I felt so differently about her. I never knew what to believe. I also had amnesia with Complex PTSD. Because of this my behavior around her was thoroughly confusing. I ended up believing that I was crazy. This led to mistrust of myself. I always wanted to hurt myself around her and my interactions often led to self destructive behaviors.

Book Excerpt

My House of Lies: Awakening from a Childhood of Sexual Abuse

At times, she seemed so warm and loving. I felt so confused about her and felt disoriented in her presence, wanting to make sense of myself in her presence, yet my extreme guardedness blocked me. What was my truth? It seemed so clouded, like my brain was becoming.

Confusion about her became my norm and I felt crazy in her presence.
