I survived an abusive childhood to become a rebellious teenager. After I married a woman 19 years my senior, I struggled to be a high school teacher despite my failing vision.

When I quit teaching and my marriage, I became connected with the counter culture of Santa Cruz, opening a hippy night club that quickly failed. My life radically changed when I married my second wife who eventually became a psychotic menace to our children. Depressed, I attended the University of Texas and was awarded a Ph.

D. degree in counseling psychology. I went on to practice therapy, try my hand as a radio personality and eventually resolved the troubling issues in my life. DEDICATION I dedicate this book to my progeny.
