In So Many Freakin' Secrets, Janet Cheney takes her readers on a journey through her own 1950s/1960s-era dysfunctional upbringing: a life full of secrets, unaddressed emotions, and unhealthy behavior patterns that cultivated a climate of abuse.
Punctuated with humor and unusual spurts of joy, Cheney is stymied by unspoken family themes of suppressing grief, hiding abuse, eating away your emotions, "don't talk/don't share," and withholding love and affection. It all becomes the catalyst to find self-love and learning that all are worthy of love, just for being born. Stranger than fiction, this heart-twisting yet witty memoir takes you on a rebellious journey through traumatic experiences, unexpected twists, craziness, and some good times, ultimately arriving at a victory over it all.
She wants you to know that:
You can overcome life trauma;
Your life can become one of positive, uplifting experiences; and, ultimately,
You can gain life tools and methods for managing challenges, recover from abuse, and heal from addictive behaviors.
