Aisling Creegan- I am Someone

Ed’s guest tonight is Aisling Creegan. Aisling had a traumatic childhood, with abuse and violence being commonplace. Too many people go through this and the memories become entrenched, souring their personalities and often dooming them to failure professionally and personally.

From Amazon:

Aisling Creegan’s childhood was dominated by an abusive, alcoholic mother, who tortured her at every turn. From insults and beatings to being threatened with a butcher’s knife, Aisling endured unthinkable suffering at the hands of the woman who should have loved her unconditionally. Yet, in the midst of this trauma, Aisling relied on the one person she knew she could trust – herself.

Possessed of an incredible imagination and remarkable resilience, Aisling found escape in the little things in life. Her power to imagine an alternative world enabled her to hold on and make it to adolescence and the freedom she had longed for since childhood. But the scars of the past take time to heal, and when Aisling suffered a breakdown it took her on a surprising path to freedom – and forgiveness.

I Am Someone is an extraordinary memoir about female cruelty and – ultimately – female strength and endurance.
