Born Unwanted

by Steven C. King

"Born Unwanted relates howIrene, who was born out of wedlock and bonded with her grandmother, experiencedsevere trauma when she was taken away by her parents at age six. Then shesuffered childhood experiences of parental and mental abuse, which tore at herheart and mind with depressive thoughts throughout her life. While the manicside of the resulting Bipolar Disorder released her for brief periods,depression to the point of obsessing about those earlier abusive events keptreturning to the forefront of her thoughts. Born Unwanted aims to bringhome to parents and psychologists and those who suffer from depression therealities of the problem. It suggests the steps that can be undertaken to helpvictims understand and perhaps gain some relief while reducing the pain enduredby concerned relatives and friends. Psychiatry and certain drugs often providesome relief, but many victims go as far as suicide or attempts at suicide toescape from depression. Amazingly, Irene was able to give her children and thosewho came in contact with her the care, love, and self esteem which she sodesperately needed, but seldom experienced from her parents."
