Comme elle le dit dans la bouche de son père, la colère est un poison que tu prépares pour un autre mais que tu bois-toi même. Et ce livre ressemble à ça. Une tentative d’accorder un pardon à son père afin de cesser de s’empoisonner par sa colère. Et c’est révoltant, parce qu’à la lecture de ce livre, il semble évident que ce salopard ne mérite aucun pardon. Il est mort et que sa dépouille pourrisse rongée par les vers. Mais notre fonctionnement semble ainsi fait que les rancunes nuisent plus aux victimes qu’aux coupables… C’est nul ! Et cela fait de ce livre insoutenable, un témoignage bouleversant Author Eve Ensler imagines her deceased father in Limbo, finally ready to review and apologize for his many crimes against her, which include sexual, emotional and physical abuse. This brief, intense book may be triggering to victims of incest or parental cruelty, but others may find that it helps them to understand the multi-generational patterns that lead to extreme familial dysfunction. Horrifying but recommended. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"This book, The Apology, written by Eve from her father's point of view in the words she longed to hear attempts to transform the abuse she suffered, with unflinching truthfulness, compassion, and a expansive vision for the future. Through The Apology Eve has set out to provide a new way for herself and a possible road for others, so that survivors of abuse may finally imagine how to be free. In it, she grapples with questions she has sought answers to since she began to understand the impact of her father's abuse on her life: How do we offer a doorway rather than only a locked cell? How do move from humiliation to revelation, from curtailing behavior to changing it, from condemning perpetrators to calling them to reckoning? The Apology is a remarkably original book that explores the deepest and most intimate questions that can be asked at this moment: Why do men carry out abuse, often against the people they know and love the most? How can we--together--stop it? What does it mean to apologize for these acts? What will it take for the men who have committed abuse to make a deep reckoning and actually apologize? As Tony Porter from A Call to Men says, "We've called men out, now how do we call them in?" The Apology is an acutely transformational book--about how, from the wounds of sexual abuse, we can begin to re-emerge and heal. It is a revolutionary book asking everything of each of us: courage, truthfulness, and forgiveness" -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I would have liked to have heard from others in the family as well, and what they thought was happening, and how they did or didn’t react, though I understand that wasn’t the point of this particular book ( )
