From Victim to Victory
"From Victim to Victory" offers a captivating snapshot of what it was like to grow up in the 1950s as part of a German immigrant family in a small Canadian community. Margarete Ledwez' story, however, is laced with a dark undercurrent. As a child, Dyslexia complicated her school days, while her nights were filled with stomach-churning fear of a father who sexually abused her. Without consciously realizing it, she banished these nighttime episodes from her memory. As an adult, while raising her own three children, she was beset by frightening "triggers" and haunted by nightmares without understanding why. Only through the strength of her two most important relationships-her marriage to Harry, and her faith in God-was she able to unlock past memories and discover that the only way through the fear and pain depended on her willingness to forgive.This book was written in part as a commitment to seeking closure and healing, but also to give hope to others who are, or have been, sexually abused-and to encourage them to begin their own healing journey.Margarete Ledwez is a successful author whose work includes a trilogy of young adult mystery/adventure books set in her home town of Niagara Falls.

Putting Burdens on Broken Shoulders
Conservative Christian views on marriage and divorce are often presented as bulwarks against the tragedy of marital breakdown. Yet the advice given to divorced Christians and those facing the disintegration of their relationships is often irresponsible and damaging. Women fleeing domestic violence are told they are bound to their abusers by indissoluble spiritual bonds. Some are sent back to face further violence. Children are exposed to further abuse. People are condemned to lives of unnecessary loneliness and second marriages are undermined. A pall is cast over many lives. Why? Why should vulnerable people be given advice that is so damaging? Those who protest are told that this is what the Bible teaches. But does it? This book critically examines the relevant texts, revealing fundamental errors due to theological misconceptions and difficulties of understanding nuances of the original languages and the contexts in which crucial words were spoken. Properly understood, the relevant biblical passages do not lock people into intolerable situations. Christians are called to be faithful in their marital relationships, but not to pretend that former marriages still exist or refuse to recognize subsequent ones. And we are called to embrace, not condemn, the brokenhearted.

Social Justice Parenting
"Social Justice Parenting offers guidance and grace for parents who want to teach their children how to create a fair and inclusive world."--Diane Debrovner, deputy editor of Parents magazine"Replete with excellent examples and advice that can help parents raise children with a healthy self-image and regard for the welfare of others."--Jane E. Brody, New York TimesAn empowering, timely guide to raising anti-racist, compassionate, and socially conscious children, from a diversity and inclusion educator with more than thirty years of experience.As a global pandemic shuttered schools across the country in 2020, parents found themselves thrust into the role of teacher--in more ways than one. Not only did they take on remote school supervision, but after the murder of George Floyd and the ensuing Black Lives Matter protests, many also grappled with the responsibility to teach their kids about social justice--with few resources to guide them.Now, in Social Justice Parenting, Dr. Traci Baxley--a professor of education who has spent 30 years teaching diversity and inclusion--will offer the essential guidance and curriculum parents have been searching for. Dr. Baxley, a mother of five herself, suggests that parenting is a form of activism, and encourages parents to acknowledge their influence in developing compassionate, socially-conscious kids.Importantly, Dr. Baxley also guides parents to do the work of recognizing and reconciling their own biases. So often, she suggests, parents make choices based on what's best for their children, versus what's best for all children in their community. Dr. Baxley helps readers take inventory of their actions and beliefs, develop self-awareness and accountability, and become role models. Poised to become essential reading for all parents committed to social change, Social Justice Parenting will offer parents everywhere the opportunity to nurture a future generation of humane, compassionate individuals.

To be seen and not heard
She is used in reference to the writer, the previous version of herself. I, is used in reference to who she is now, or who she identified with during that time. Her is often used in reference to the female figures within her life, the figures they used to be and the representations of the parts of themselves that were the darkest and, at times, the lightest influencers for she. Scattered within are poems, written throughout her childhood. Little snapshots into her child voice during those times. She has written for most of her life and finds comfort in her ability to expel as much poison as possible through the written word. Read on about a girl who, for whatever reason, was never fully accepted or loved in the ways she needed, never able to fit within a category or gain an overall sense of belonging, regardless of how far and wide she searched. This story is not linear; it is messy and, at times, may be hard to follow. The timelines do not add up and it is not until the very last word, that all the pieces of the puzzle make sense and an overall understanding is gained. This is deliberate. This is a physical representation of the life in which she has lived and continues to. Come take this staggered journey within a story full of twists and turns. A PTSD episode structured piece that depicts lived experiences through the eyes of someone living each day with trauma. Come witness life through the eyes of her parent with PTSD and the effects that had on her, the child who never understood why she couldn't be loved like the other children, why she grew up to not be appreciated and seen for the adult she was, and the fights held to gain the respect and love she deserved.

Their Blood Runs Thru Us
There is a common thread of love, loss and legacy revealed through the up close and personal stories written in Their Blood Runs Thru Us. It's easy to talk about legacy and love, but having conversations about the unexpected struggles that come with end-of-life scenarios are often avoided.Dementia snatched the mind, body, and soul, but not before a legacy of love was established. Roach-infested humble beginnings put a spotlight on the strength of a mother determined to preserve her family. The emotions surrounding the loss of an absentee parent are beautifully expressed in "A Letter to Dad," as this book captures those stories and more. There are intimate views of the depression and emotional overwhelm which happens around times of grief, but there are also real-life triumphs captured in this powerful snapshot of legacy builders who are thriving beyond the grave.Experiences with death are not isolated incidents; we all share in the sorrows connected with grief. The comfort and strength depicted within the pages of this book will hopefully lead you in the direction of grief recovery. Learning to live without the ones we love is a process that takes time, but the journey is easier when we keep alive in our memories the rich legacy of love and life embodied in the blood that runs thru us.
YOU-KNOW-WHO An Alienated Daughter's Memoir
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF HER MOTHER AFTER HER PARENTS' DIVORCE WHEN SHE WAS JUST FOUR YEARS OLD FILLS DANA WITH A RELENTLESS NEED TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH. Even when parents divorce, their children are allowed to keep loving both of them.At least that is how it should be. But shortly after Dana's parents split up, her whole maternal family is cast out of her life. Traumatized but afraid to upset her father, Dana obediently goes along with this plan of erasing the past. Over time, her mother becomes a fading memory, an outline in her imagination, etched in colors. Red hair, white skin, the same blue eyes as Dana's. Unable to voice her yearning to have her mother back, or even to ask questions about her, Dana holds on to proof of her mother's existence wherever she can find it. In this harrowing memoir, Dana makes her way through her lonely childhood and teenage years, and through her father's second marriage with the woman she is told to call mother. Dana tries to fill the emptiness left by her mother's absence, but she eventually learns that she must harness the courage to face the truth, whether or not that leads her back to her mother. Editorial Reviews of You-Know-Who"...The author's mother was exiled from her life when she was just four years old (and the child's life was "cleaved into before and after," as Laquidara so searingly writes), long before academic and legal studies into Parental Alienation had gained traction. It has taken the author a lifetime to process, to understand, to heal. Her journey is one that she recounts with skill and compassion and boundless love."--William J. McGee, author of Half The Child, a novel about child custody and abduction"Dana's book is a moving story of alienation from the child's point of view. It is heartbreaking to see her try to make sense of the trauma she was subjected to as a girl. Everyone who works with children of divorce should read this book so they understand why a child may not 'admit' to wanting to see a beloved parent and how loyalty conflicts can last well into adulthood."--Ginger Gentile, Director of the Erasing Family Documentary and Creator of Reversing Parental Alienation Consulting"This book is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the experience of Parental Alienation from the perspective of the child. The author's first-hand account... eliminates any doubt that Parental Alienation is a form of emotional child abuse with life-long impact. I'm grateful this book has been written, because the best chance parents and children affected by alienation have of finding their way back to each other is when those who once had no choice and no voice speak up."-Doris Newlun,

Silver Empowerment
The strengths and opportunities of ageing and the ageing population.Silver empowerment is a valuable paradigm to improve care and support systems for older persons. It aims to counteract the dominant image of ageing, which is all too often one of decline, dependency and vulnerability, and rather sees ageing and the ageing population as a challenge that opens up new opportunities. By focusing on the strengths and connections of older persons, silver empowerment strives for an inclusive, age-friendly society that will allow everyone to grow old with dignity and meaning. In this book, leading academics from a variety of disciplines discuss ways to enhance the empowerment of older persons in practice. Covering a wide range of topics such as resilience, loneliness, community-based care, the interplay between formal and informal care, the inclusion of older persons' perspectives in research and care, and empowering policy, Silver Empowerment is of interest to academics, policy makers and practitioners interested in empowerment and care and support systems for older persons.Contributors: Jasper De Witte (KU Leuven), Tine Van Regenmortel (KU Leuven / Tilburg University), Leen Heylen (Thomas More), Benedicte De Koker (HOGENT), Dimitri Mortelmans (University of Antwerp), Anja Declercq (KU Leuven), Elena Bendien (Leyden Academy on Vitality and Ageing), Susan Woelders (Leyden Academy on Vitality and Ageing), Tineke Abma (Leiden University Medical Center / Leyden Academy on Vitality and Ageing), Meriam Janssen (Tilburg University), Katrien Luijkx (Tilburg University), Aukelien Scheffelaar (Tilburg University), Annerieke Stoop (Tilburg University), Jozef Pacolet (KU Leuven), Gregorio Rodr穩guez Cabrero (University of Alcal獺), Sim籀n Sosvilla-Rivero (Complutense University of Madrid), Katrien Steenssens (KU Leuven).Ebook available in Open Access.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
