This book chronicles the unforgettable account of one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history. It is the story of Dave Pelzer, who was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who played tortuous, unpredictable games--games that left him nearly dead. He had to learn how to play his mother's games in order to survive because she no longer considered him a son, but a slave; and no longer a boy, but an "it." Dave's bed was an old army cot in the basement, and his clothes were torn and raunchy. When his mother allowed him the luxury of food, it was nothing more than spoiled scraps that even the dogs refused to eat. The outside world knew nothing of his living nightmare. He had nothing or no one to turn to, but his dreams kept him alive--dreams of someone taking care of him, loving him and calling him their son.
With no dreams, I found that words like hope and faith were only letters, randomly put together into something meaningless - words only for fairy tales. (查看原文)

It is so shocking to read a memoir about child abuse. Also, I am so glad his knowing the black hole out there but positively and directly facing it.

超乎想象的家庭暴力,不只是体罚了,是奴役。一直胆战心惊,读作者对母亲心里正常是美好家庭的回忆和为安慰自己的想象时几乎落泪。父母资格鉴定和行为监督的发展还是道阻且长。作者能被老师和警方救出、成为健全人,帮助abused children真是太好了,而还有多少孩子在阴影里受折磨啊。

不太明白作者的母亲为什么突然对作者的态度有了极大的转变。作者有哥哥,有弟弟,但他的母亲一直针对他进行“奴役”。而身为消防员的父亲为什么不能在反复劝说无效的情况下通知警方呢……作者最后提到,可能大多数家长只是认为自己在管教孩子的时候稍有越界,但是这显然是不对的。
