I’m a survivor of childhood trauma, which continued to adulthood, had a total breakdown in life which was a catalyst to living a life I never would have thought possible & I wrote my memoir to inspire others.
I’m a former licensed nurse that changed careers to certified hypnotherapist. I’m starting a course for integrative Healing arts practitioner mid April. I paint, I love to hike and am happily married and mother of two adult children.
I Didn’t Come This Far, to Only Come THIS Far: A true story of my own journey through a life of betrayal, abuse and neglect. To one of peace, love and freedom
A true story, in her own words, five years in the making. Pamela walks down memory lane. An account of her life as a woman born in America the 60’s. Pamela talks openly and candidly about a life full of neglect, betrayal, abuse, grief, and loss. One traumatic experience after another. Until a total breakdown, after being left unconscious on the floor after an attack by her addict husband, is a catalyst to an awakening and finally realizing true love, peace and freedom in her 50’s.
Trigger Warnings: Poverty, Neglect, Rape, Sexual Assault, Physical Abuse.
I was going to stop writing when my life settled down, but it’s clear that isn’t happening any time soon. I didn’t come this far to only come THIS far! I keep going, keep reaching my goals and dreams. My hope is to show you that no matter what you go through that you can do more than survive, and just exist. There’s nothing special or different about me. Much of what I went through is all too common. I wrote this for my own therapy, to not have gone to the grave without telling my story, to bring hope and inspiration others. Thank you dear reader for your interest and support. – Pamela Topjian (Author)
