This was a very hard book for me to read and understand. I read his brothers Davids book many many years ago and what he was saying made me feel like he was making excuses for his behaviour with his brother but the further I got into this the more I felt for him. he was manipulated by his mother...a very damaged and abusive person. Shakes head. I just cannot understand such cruelty and no matter how I try I am sure I never will. those people are not deserving of my concern...their victims are. Bless you Richard...I think you writing this book helped you to come to terms with how your mother destroyed your family and I hope and pray you will never blame yourself ever for her bad decisions. This book brought many emotions to the surface for me..maybe some I myself have trouble facing. but I do thank you for that.
