ELGIN, Ill. - November 7, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Raleigh Sutton, an advocate for people with disabilities who works for the Elgin Area Historical Society doing research on the local ethnic communities, has completed his new book "The Things I Never Told My Children: Confessions of an Evil Twin": a powerful and honest autobiographical account of the cruel abuse endured by the author and how it caused him to lash out at others to undo the pain he felt.
"I've written many stories for myself and my sons over the last few years. Most reflected the good times, pleasant days, and easy living," writes Sutton. "But there was also a dark side. It is a side of abuse, both mental and physical, that I experienced at the hands of my cold-hearted mother and abusive stepfathers. They were terrifying and uncertain times where my mother moved so many times that I lived out of a cardboard box for much of my life. The situation affected me so strongly that I did everything I could to keep my own children safe from that lifestyle."
"I found it difficult to write some of these as it was painful to come to terms with the facts. Many times, I have told mini versions of them so as to render them harmless. Getting them out was, at least, satisfying. I am not proud of much told here; I caused a lot of people pain and inconvenience. I was, in truth, a juvenile delinquent, a troublemaker, and too clever for my own good. I was lucky to outgrow it, and the longer I spent time with my dad rather than with my mother, the tide slowly changed."
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Raleigh Sutton's raw and compelling tale is a poignant discussion on how abuse at an early age can lead to difficult behavior and bad habits later in life. Through telling his story, Sutton reflects on his past and hopes to connect with others who have shared a similar fate, encouraging them to take stock of their own choices and understand how to take control of their lives.
