Did You Ever Love Me?

by Cassie Cook, Toni Maguire

How do you stop your past from determining your future? “It’s what daddies do with their little girls,” he explains, “every little girl does it. But it’s a secret, and you must not talk about it.”Cassie was too young to remember when her father started abusing her, but she remembers how unclean it made her feel. When she got married at sixteen and had a family of her own, she thought she’d finally escaped his clutches, but he found a way to make sure she could never move on. Turning to drink to cope, Cassie’s babies were taken into care and her husband left her. Now would begin the biggest challenge of her winning her children back and working to eclipse the pain of the past. This is the heartbreaking true story of a little girl that just wanted to be loved.

Tells a sad real life story of the sexual abuse of Cassie by her father and who also mentally abused her brothers who had special needs . An evil sick man. It does sadden me that there was no one to help her really and the mother neglected her in more ways than one. But Cassie comes threw all of it .

Books like this break my heart. To know that there are real monsters out there who do things like this and think that it’s okay. I’m always honored and amazed at the courage of those who step out and tell their stories in a world fills with those who blame the victims.

This was very hard to read but was fantastically written. I felt so emotional from the first page and fought hard against the tears that threatened throughout this story. Absolutely heart wrenching.

A very sad story of what a little girl endured at the hands of a nasty man, her father!
What is perceived as a innocent show of love turns into years of torment by not just her father but her mother who knew the truth but never helped to stop it!
No child should have to go through this and still live with that every day!

Un sujet si difficile, si touchant, mais si bien expliqué et raconté. Nous sommes transportés dans son histoire à travers ses rencontres avec sa psychologue, comme si nous étions dans la pièce. Coup de ❤️.
