My incest did not begin in my childhood, though more than one person suggested that it might have. My father's incestuous fascination with me began when I was in my early 20's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of a sudden, my father's looks of disgust turned into looks of lust. But it wasn't until he placed his hand on my breast that I felt the world around me crumble - my surroundings morphed into everything unfamiliar. I lived somewhere else now, somewhere I imagined to be hell. Everything I previously referred to as my past disappeared in a blur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe man I called my father had become a frightening entity. My skin tightened when he walked into a room. I felt cold and shaky. I was a single mother living at home with my parents, making less money than I needed to survive on my own. I was afraid for myself. I was afraid for my daughter. I was afraid to tell my mother and my sisters. I was afraid of everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut more than fear was the shame I felt, because I couldn't stand up to my father. His behavior was so foreign to me, that when he touched me, I didn't feel as if the rug had been pulled out from under me - I felt more as if the entire Earth had been pulled away from me, leaving me suspended somewhere between the life I thought I had and no life at all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdult-Onset Incest is so rare, very little has been written about the subject. In this book, you will get a glimpse into my life as an adult-onset incest survivor, tripping over my own shadows as I tried to gain some semblance of balance and regain the joy I once enjoyed.","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45558626910359,"sku":"9798412601649","price":1424.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798412601649.webp?v=1767920647","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tripping-over-shadows-a-look-into-one-of-the-rarest-forms-of-incest-adult-onset-incest-9798412601649","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
