Lucia Mann’s Newest Book Release Gives a Voice to the Silent Humiliation and

Shame Suffered by Parents Abused by Their Adult Children

Pain and silent shame suffered by parents who are abused--emotionally, physically, financially--by
adult children.

Oceanside, CA, November 07, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Now beginning her author circuit, Lucia Mann is
pulling her reluctant heroine out of the shadows to expose the depth of despair that consumes parents who
are abused mentally, physically, and financially by adult children. Based on a true story, Addicted to Hate
prompts readers to contemplate the time-honored question of nature vs. nuture as it educates us about the
myriad forms of abuse and their gnawing repercussions.

Parents abused by adult children suffer silently, shamed to the marrow by words, moods, acts, and blows
that pierce through their imagined bubble of safety and kidnap any notions they had of sharing a mutually
loving relationship with their children.

Maddie loved her daughters unconditionally...until, as a financially depleted and physically bruised senior
citizen, she was forced to cut ties permanently with her adult descendants. Maddie's cruel and
dysfunctional upbringing prompted her to smother her children with love, to soften the blows of life, even
when consequences would have been a healthier, more effective choice. Maddie's story raises the
time-honored question of nature versus nurture.

Were Maddie's children tailored from the fabric of her soft heart to abuse and take advantage of their
mother, despite her enduring passion to love and support them ... regardless of the consequences? Or were
they impelled to abuse their mother because of biochemical disorders and volatile eruptions in the neural
centers? Perhaps Maddie's children were born out of a fragile fusion of the two.

In this book you will feel Maddie's turmoil as her three callous children - who do all they can to hold
power over her bottomless well of love - develop into brutal adults, and you will applaud her courage
when she finally pushes shame aside and reaches her climactic end point.

"Parent abuse can take on many different forms, from physical, emotional and verbal, to financial abuse."
- Lou Purplefairy
