Apathetic

At fourteen, you shouldn’t have to wish that just once when your mother threatened to kill herself, she actually meant it… Lindy has already lived a lifetime of cruelty and neglect—a lifetime of trying to make herself so small she would be invisible to her mother’s whims. Her childhood is long lost to a warped combination of rage and apathy… Here she remains, uncertain of who she is and scare of what she could become. Men are supposed to be strong and powerful… abuse is a man’s game… Seventeen years ago, Chris Marshall was drawn in by Victoria’s lies, and he made her his wife. His entire married life has been rife with her infidelities and destruction—years lost to anger, fear, and ultimately resignation… Here he remains, trapped by Victoria’s sociopathic machinations, where each action has a reaction, and innocence hangs in the balance. Nestled in idyllic suburbia, this is the haunting story of a family terrorized and manipulated by the wife and mother who is supposed to love, honor, nurture, and care for them. In the Marshall house, viciousness reigns, and whatever happens… never tell a soul.
