Self Abuse Love, Loss and Fatherhood

Description

From the age of three Jonathan Self had only one ambition: not to be like his father. Despite his determination to be a better man — and a better parent than his own had been — Jonathan was a twice-divorced father of three and, at age thirty-five, spiraling. Self Abuse is the story of Jonathan’s efforts to break free from the cycle of despair and dysfunction that characterized his youth. A brilliantly rendered, unapologetic memoir about the pain and joy of parenthood, Jonathan’s story is as heartbreaking, redemptive, and unforgettable as it is true.
