''HORRIFYING FEARS...WITH NO ESCAPE''!!!: Autobiography

By David Gerald Harper

This Autobiography curtails the Authors events when he was abused as a child from the age of ( 5 ) ; for the next 8 horrifying years as the corporal punishment became more life threatening !!! In this fact based novel the Author talks about trying to escape from his attacker and in doing so had sought refuge in swampy water holes or high above a tree deep in the woods. His attacker ( HIS OWN FATHER ) would drive all hours of night searching for his tiny little boy of only (8) years of age ....so to lust over the grim reality of having his own little child cry out to his father.....''NO DADDY PLEASE DADDY I DID'NT DO ANYTHING WRONG!!! DADDY PLEASE STOP YOUR GOING TO KILL ME ''!!! However the pleas and cries from this little tiny frail boy of 8 years of age had no bearing on this big brutal man of nearly 300 lbs. to make him end this torture. In fact...the total opposite would take its horrifying toll and the beatings became more BLOODY and more OFTEN!! When his own father had not been using his fists violently on his little boys head and his body ....his father would use boards or belts or at times would cut down a tree from outside the house....(all the while his little boy was upstairs watching his father) and SCARED to death that "THIS TIME" he would loose his life! The Authors mental health @ age of 13 was becoming unmanageable and a full state of DEPRESSION had set in ....not to mention the fact that P.T.S.D. had now controlled his WHOLE being!! For fear of HIS OWN LIFE ....the boy of 13 years old had left the home to sleep on the streets where he felt safe away from his attacker.....only to learn that even the site of his car would sent him into a tail spin of FEAR....that the boy would have to literally run for his own life before his violent enraged own father would spot him. This would have led well into the Authors adult life even after marriage. Prisons were to become the Authors safe haven away from his abuser and years later...it was documented that the Author was granted parole at the early age of 17 from a maximum security prison ....but the prison officials documented that the BOY had NOT WANTED TO BE RELEASED anywhere near his attacker! Thus leaving the Author with many years of incarceration ....as a result of a somewhat.... ( ILL STATE OF MIND. ). After serving many years in maximum security prisons.. and getting married and having the house with the white picket fence the Author still was not a whole person. It was only some 40+ years later after the horrific abuse that the Author decided it was TIME to start to heal and so he had started the process in filing CRIMINAL CHARGES against his own father for the 8 long horrifying years of corporal punishment he suffered as a child . The supreme court had made a ruling on the matter in the mid 1990's. Since that time frame the Author has had numerous RADIO interviews /NEWSPAPER ARTICLES/ and recently in 2018 has wrote an inspirational ''guide'' booklet entitled : " PREVENTING ABUSE & ENDING P.T.S.D.!!'' This booklet can also be purchased through AMAZON.CA for $7.95 can. In publishing this novel '' HORRIFYING FEARS...WITH NO ESCAPE ''!! ( which once was published as a hard copy in the mid 1990's ) it is hoped that the readership will gain some insight in dealing with their OWN ill mental health living with DEPRESSION and having the first hand knowledge on the steps to take to resolve their OWN Abusive situations....and be OPTIMISTIC that change can come about in their OWN lives.... as it had in this Authors!! ( I, DAVID GERALD HARPER HAVE TRANSFORMED MY 'mind,body,and soul' INTO THESE 2 NOVELS BEING OPTIMISTIC THAT SOMEWHERE, SOMEONE, WILL BENEFIT FROM THEM....AS I , the Author HAVE --- IN DOING THE MANUSCRIPTS ). DEPRESSION and P.T.S.D. are always gonna tag along beside me I have no doubt ; but if I save one person from chronic [SELF DESTRUCTION] or where one pays the ultimate price....its my goal in life!
