Breaking a Terrible Promise

Promises' easy to make, easy to break. There are many characters in this book. Heroic father with a dark secret, a mother who is not what she seems, a brother and sister who are caught up in the web of lies, and there is a bad guy someone whom I blame for all of the problems, and not undeservedly so. Though is he really the source of the problem? I'm here too of course, as the one who tells the story and its main character we follow me as I grow up in a world hidden from the rest, where I learn the ways of users and pathological liars. We see the aftermath as I struggle to deal with my childhood scars and the moment that forces me to turn my back on all of it. But at the heart of this story is a promise. A solemn vow I made to myself and I'm not alone in making. A silent resolution I am now confident that I must break.

One I hope I convince others to break as well...
